Isn voting for an alternative party just a wasted vote or a spoiler vote?
The only wasted vote is the one not cast or the one cast for a candidate you don’t really want. Voting for the “least detestable” candidate only gets you more of the same. As Americans, we can’t afford to continue choosing between two mediocre candidates and telling ourselves that is the right thing to do. Calling alternative party votes “spoiler votes” is being juvenile. “Those were MY votes” they pout. Here’s an idea, field better candidates that will actually address our nation’s problems instead of playing “I got mine” politics, and you won’t have to worry about “spoiler candidates” who dare to provide a credible alternative.
