Even people who run as a 3rd party candidate are helping by spreading ideas.

So, you don’t really have a political strategy argument for doing it.

I’m so confused by your position.

Ok, I think I understand the confusion. Running for a 3rd party and voting 3rd party are two different things.

I think that running for a 3rd party has good outcomes, it generates news and discussion and gets your ideas out in front of a lot of people. Maybe, when the time is right, you won’t be a 3rd party anymore and become one of the mainstream parties.

I think that voting for a 3rd party has bad outcomes. As our previous discussions, thanks to the dumb first past the post. Only the two most popular candidates matter. So you should vote for the lesser evil even if they suck (and they will).

When a 3rd party candidate becomes popular enough they edge out one of the standard party candidates and the voting strategy changes in our favor.
