Or glorious throwaway votes to third party?

This can be the year where we get enough votes for third parties to actually be heard in politics in future elections a small 5% helps them get funding and 15% gets them into the debates.

1/3 of the the Republican party wont back Trump

About 10% of democrats wont support Clinton

The general public have unfavorable views of both candidates, this is an election a good portion of people dont want. This is a great time to push for third parties.

Throw away votes or blind loyalist?

it seems to me that inevitably things fall into a two party system and this is ok except that the current voting system makes it difficult (impossible?) for any alternative party to ever gain real traction even if it starts a strong movement. i read about instant runoff voting and it seemed like a cool alternative, and now i'm chuckling thinking about how bad that would make things for trump.

Peoples political ideology/philosophy dosent fall on a two point scale, I'm fiscally conservative but socially liberal and I have to choose which I find more important. Libetarians may be a little extreme on the free market side but it's closer to my belief system then democrats or republicans.

I was not referring to peoples beliefs so much as how people end up voting

Im unsure if you used "remember al gore" as an argument for why meetterry was right...or you think that it can be an argument for proving him wrong....

Al Gore won the popular vote but lost to GWB

how does that have anything to do with 3 parties vs 2 parties? I guess I see your point about "minority choosing the president" but you can see how much bigger of a problem it is with 3 parties. GWB won with the majority of the delegates, just not the popular vote. 3 parties could cause someone to win with a minority of delegates and popular vote.

I thought you were referring to Nader taking a lot of Gore's voters, who if they voted for Gore, probably would have won him the election

You have it backwards at the end, you mean people would win with more delegates but not the popular vote. The whole point of the delegate system was created because the founders didn't even trust lower/middle class to actually elect people so they created fail safes to prevent people they dont want being elected. Take them talking about stopping trump at the convention. Then there's the democratic race where it was basically rigged from the start for Hillary to win, they had no clue sanders would even be able to attract as much of a following he has.

I mean, why only limit it to 2 parties? Let's just have 1 party run for president, that way 100% of the people voting approve of them and everyone is happy.
