I find it highly ironic that you're posting anti-Bush shit, while everything you've ever said in any thread since you've ever been here has been shit Bush would've sided with you on.

Oh, and before you accuse me of being pro-Shrub, I'm rabidly anti-Shrub, and with far more legitimate reasons for being so than some bullshit conspiracy theories about him being behind 9/11.

I just assumed most people that refuse to consider the fact 9/11 was an inside job are diehard Bush fans. I guess school must have taught to you always believe and trust the president. The Germans did this in the 1930's and look what happened.

People don't believe and trust the president. That's precisely why he can't get anything done without the far right shouting "MUR FREEDERMS!!!" loud enough for countries in the middle east mistaking it for a warcry.

Then you should probably look that up, since you don't appear to know what it is. Rules lawyering is a reference to trying to skirt the rules by using the letter but ignoring the spirit. Gently pointing out to someone that they should obey the forum rules isn't against the rules and is pretty common. And given the result, it would have been a good idea.

Regardless, if you're unsure if I've broken a forum rule and it really bothers you, feel free to ask the mods to clarify.

Watch the language. I dislike Hillary but we don't have to use foul language to talk about her.

I know I don't have to use foul language to talk about her. I assure you it was purely voluntary.*
Why can't you vote for another party if you dislike the 2 candidates?

Because it would be absolutely pointless. There is no chance of any Third Party candidate getting anywhere or being anything other than a spoiler. Might as well not bother to vote, frankly. My state is so solidly blue (of which I am nevertheless glad) there really is little point in voting in a Presidential election anyway.

Being in a predictable state is actually your safest opportunity to vote for a third party candidate. First and foremost, the only reason that third parties even bother with running a presidential candidate is not that they think they'll win, but because of a nuance in the rules that means that if they get a certain percentage of the vote for a presidential election they become eligible for funding and automatic ballot slots, so it makes all of the more winnable smaller local and state level seats easier for them to contest.

But even if you think that getting the 5% or whatever it is for the threshold for funding is realistic (and you may well think that as it's a hard nut to crack), in a solidly blue or red state a vote for a party slightly more to the right/left of the party that you would normally vote for would, if done with enough other voters of similar inclination, indicate that they cannot take your vote for granted and force them treat you like a constituent even though they are more than likely to win regardless.

Now, all of this probably would be dismissed as "Yeah, well, but you have to get others to do it too..." which is sort of like saying in order to breath you have to suck in air, as any voting action requires a number of people to vote the same way...that's pretty much how voting works.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Wouldn't a third party candidate winning the Presidency be literally impossible?

They'd have to win a majority of the electoral college votes, which means earning a majority of the vote in multiple states, due to the electoral college and FPTP.
Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.95

Pros: social democracy, LGBT+ rights, pro-choice, free education and health care, environmentalism, Nordic model, secularism, welfare state, multiculturalism
Cons: social conservatism, neoliberalism, hate speech, racism, sexism, 'right-to-work' laws, religious fundamentalism

Teddy and Perot were the only ones that actually had a chance.

In fact, going by population by state, the most electoral votes Gary Johnson could have hoped to get was a measly 12. An to accomplishthat, they'd all have to be living in Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota and Alaska.

It seems most of the USA is not satisfied with the 2 parties but they vote for them anyways. However, think about the fact that we used to have Whigs. They don't exist anymore because they didn't please the people. The republicans were not always around. They started in 1854 and have managed to become an important party and win a few elections. Perhaps libertarians will do the same thing in the future.

If millions of people are willing to 'waste' their vote on a libertarian candidate than perhaps the candidate will win the election. The problem is millions of people choose an inferior candidate which is really wasting their vote. You should show your support for the right candidate. If the candidate gets 10% in an election, he will be taken more seriously the next time.
