The person you responded to was also bashing third-party voting.

Honestly, I'd rather people educate themselves and vote third parties than not vote like 40% of the country did. If third parties got a large piece of the vote, they could get public funding and make their voices heard more. Sure, there's only two sides to every issue, but you could have coalition style like in Europe.

But our two parties conspire to monopolize the seats of power just like the corporations that buy them.
