It’s called the spoiler effect, and it fucks us over all the god-damn time. Do not vote third party under our current electoral system. You need to either work within the current system like the Progressives do, or work to change the system to one that doesn’t fuck people over if they vote third party. If you want to get involved with actually doing that second thing, here’s a great place to start.
