    But "voting" for a third party is not voting, it's protesting
Meh that's like saying voting for sanders isn't voting. Its a BS argument that the mainstream parties use to discourage you from voting for someone that actually represents you interest.

If your slightly less shitty mainstream candidate is at risk of loosing because you voted for a 3rd party then you are going to force their platform in your direction. Or your are going to allow your 3rd party candidate to get enough of a foothold to get federal election funding for next time. Then they will become an even more real threat in 4 years.
