Phil, who died and made you king? Oh, right, no one. Voting for who you want rather than who you are told to want is the definition of democracy.

Billions of dollars are spent every four years in America to repeat your opinion that voting for someone other than a Republican or a Democrat is "a wasted vote," "taking votes away from [R or D candidate]. "an electoral cop out." All of that is just gaslighting to get people to vote as they are told. It is simply not true.

America wants change. There are two basic choices: violent change or non-violent change. Under "non-violent change" we have the already established method of voting.

There are few better ways for the average person to show they want change than to vote for someone other than than those who have been running the country for the last 160 years.
