Those who won't vote for alternate party candidates, why don't you realize that you are the problem?

Update:

Judicator, obstacles to the solution is probably more accurate.

Update 2:

For those of you uppity folk bloviating about the Electoral College, it would work no differently if there were 10 representative parties rather than two. When enough of the sheeple realize it's not throwing a vote away, you would see this. Alas, we must continue to deal with the incessant bleating.

    Even with your sentiments that wouldn't be true, we'd not be the problem itself but obstacles to the solution.

    Why anyone votes for any party is based on what the party perceives as problems, opposition to that party would then be obstacles for the solution suggested by that party

    So my question to you would be what is this problem you speak of which your third party plans to tackle that the others don't?

    We're not part of the problem, anyone that doesn't vote liberal is part of the actual problem. Under Obama the United States has become more united, and the world loves us more now. The Iran Deal is such an astonishing accomplishment in the history of the United States. We are giving Iran 130 billion dollars towards peace in the Middle East and ultimately the world. Obama has helped reduce the Federal Deficit in half in the 7 years he's been in office. If you vote against liberals, you are the problem.

    Everyone can vote for whomever they wish. I'm not a fan of thinking I am somehow above everyone because I'm not "a two-party sucker" or some such thing. However, I also don't think it's fair to say I am throwing my vote away.

    Democrats vote in a solidarity block in Congress. They can't be counted on to vote their conscience, they vote their party. Since I don't believe in the democrat platform, I am unable to vote for them.

    Because we aren't. Now, go back and read up on the electoral college and tell us how a third party would work.

    Excuse me for choosing not to effectively throw away my vote.
