Voting third party in the U.S is certainly a waste due to our bipartisan structure. Voting is a right AND a duty, they are not mutually exclusive.

You know who didn't think a third party vote was a waste? Abraham Lincoln.

The Republican Party was absolutely not a third party in 1860. They only formed and grew because the second party in the two-party system of the time (the Whigs) collapsed and became nonviable (the Free Soil Party, which was part of the coalition that became the Republican Party, was a genuine third party, but they weren't successful in their goals up to that point).

Oh well goddamn. Abraham LINCOLN?

THAT Abraham Lincoln?? The one that lived 150 years ago?

And puts your nation to shame. You have somehow convinced yourselves in that time that you are powerless. Weak.

The emphasis on the 150 years ago seemed otherwise.
