2. >Green Party

   LOL hell no.

3. They aren’t running a candidate in my elections in 2022, nor will they make the ballot here in ’24.

   So, no, not really.

4. Lol hell no. Greens are more insane than either of the two main parties.

5. No. Not only is the green party cringe as hell, but so called “protest votes” have never accomplished anything besides helping the other side.

6. lol, hell no

7. Not going to happen.

8. My opinion: protest votes are a valid choice in lopsided elections where there result is not seriously in question. ie, if I lived in California or Wyoming, I would consider a protest vote in the Presidential election, because everyone already knows where those states’ electoral votes are going before the Presidential campaign even begins.

   I live in a swing state, in a generally uncompetitive Congressional district. So, I usually vote for my actual preferred main-party candidate in Presidential elections (because my vote actually kinda matters there), and the underdog candidate congressional elections (irregardless of which candidate I actually prefer, since I’d like to nudge things towards future actual competitiveness).

9. Vote for what you believe in or the candidate you think is going to be best for the job. That’s how I roll. Simple stuff. I might vote for three different parties on a single ballot depending on circumstances.

10. I didn’t know what they were so I just looked them up.

    Lol fuck no they sound unbearable

11. No. Single issue platforms are ultimately irresponsible.
