Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be. (lemmy.world)

Why do you care if the person you voted for wins?

Someone is trying to gatekeep, that's for sure.

You...clearly misunderstood my initial post, and that's really funny.

My point isn't that you shouldn't care if they win or not. That's absolutely ridiculous. My point is that you shouldn't choose to vote for someone purely because they have a chance of winning, over someone that aligns better with your political views.

Sometimes I can't believe this app is free...
