As much as I dislike the idea of voting third party the truth is that if you meet the criteria to be able to vote that vote is yours to do with as you see fit. That includes making the decision not to vote. A lot of 3rd party voters, or at least the one's I know want to vote 3rd party without the social consequences.
Not championing the other guy in no way means you are thrilled with the present guy. I don't understand why that's a difficult concept on this forum.
I have no problem with someone exercising their freedom to vote 3rd party. But if someone is going to do something as idiotic they shouldn't act all surprised when everyone else is pissed at them.

I agree with that. I was just pointing out that a person's vote is their vote to do with as they will.
As we watch the news about voter suppression and voter intimidation at the polls we are just seeing a bigger louder version of being pissed at someone for what can be considered by some a wasted vote.
A person has the right to vote as they see fit. Most people would prefer you vote for the same candidates as they do but it's a personal choice.
My bad - screwed up the quote thingy...again.
I'm your huckleberry.
