Don't be fooled Billy, it's not really a job, more of a parasitic relationship (lemmy.world)

ITT People who vote third party and expect things to change

Lol, I'm not sure what that has to do with this post, but imagine voting for the same two parties and expecting change.

Depends on the voting system tbf. In FPTP, unless one party is extremely unpopular, it often supports your political opponents when you vote third party.

But what if both current mainstream US parties are my political opponents? The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Well, if you don't care if either party wins, vote third party. However, if you really dislike the idea of one party winning over the other, despite hating both, you should really think about how that vote is actually going to affect the future.

That's not the way it should be, but that's the way it is.
