Believing the MSM is see.
Here's a really simple video explaining why in a first past the post system voting for a third party is the worst thing you can do as you will only harm the larger party that you are most aligned with https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo?si=W8hd2GZCL15L6KU7
Ok, the problem I see is that Turtle, Snake, Owl, etc. seem to be only worried about being on the "winning" side regardless if the candidate is against their values. They've also been victims of Political Propaganda (Negative ads). Each time they vote for the Lesser of Two Evils they are giving conceding a little more and more each time. Get rid of Gerrymandering and replace it with Ranked Choice Voting to eliminate the "Spoiler Effect." Vote with you conscious and not your desire to Win.
Yes, IF it is a Ranked Choice election great idea to for the party you most align with. If it's a first past the post election, it's really bad idea (unless you align most with a party that can win).
