Let’s call it the "half of a vote corollary".<br /> The half vote corollary states that in US "plurality rule" elections, a vote for a third party candidate is half of a vote FOR the candidate that you would have voted AGAINST if there were only the two major party candidates in the race. <br /><br />Remember, we make changes by WINNING ELECTIONS. <br /><br />To paraphrase an old saw: Voting for a third party candidate is like wetting your pants while wearing a dark suit. It gives you a warm feeling, but nobody else notices and you end up with a big mess in the end.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14550327128751108165noreply@blogger.com
