I appreciate your perspective, but I’m trying to understand how your response relates to the specific topic I raised.
And I appreciate your perspective. But I've made my point clear in many posts, and from now on I will only discuss information that is in the actual news article that I posted.
I’m simply expressing my concerns about the broader implications of voting choices.
And I respect your right to think that. I, however, disagree. I like the fact that there are more voting choices.
The notion that a vote for a third party “dilutes” the vote is rooted in a fear-driven mentality rather than in democratic principles.
It assumes that votes are owned by the two major parties, which they are not. Our electoral system is supposed to represent the diverse views of the electorate, not just those of the dominant parties.
Voting for the candidate who best represents my beliefs is not just a right—it’s a responsibility.
Democracy thrives on diversity of thought.
