[@IceHeart] Well let me be the first to say, a third party vote isn't 'throwing it away to insert party here'. Maybe it is a protest vote, but you still did vote. Better than nothing. Though as someone who didn't vote Trump. Did the um, [b]slight over reactions[/b] that continued until possibly still, for the other side, make you reconsider things? I know it did for many others. Even my very left leaning brother found it pretty embarrassing. I suppose I do think one of the major reasons he was elected is that a lot of people didn't see him as a politician. And whether you like him or not. This was the first president who won in quite a long time, who got and spent far -less- money campaigning. So I do think that's at least a good thing, as a message that money won't always win you the election. I will say if more people did vote third party, I think it might actually make the other sides actually try harder...because it would be actual competition. Like if some kind of 3rd party, strictly minority right groups party existed. I could easily see Kayne running under this label. I'd wonder how that would be responded to and if it could be well received. (Kayne or not.) But that's my own conjecture...
