I've voted third party all my life up until Obama. It never changed a single fucking thing. I voted for Perot when he got 19% of the vote and not one single electoral vote. (My personal politics have changed considerably over the years.) Not one thing changed. Perot and his ideas were never even part of the conversation after the election.

Voting third party is stupid and naive and I'm embarrassed it took me so god damn long to figure that out.
