      That would require them being capable of critical thinking, and anyone willing to vote third party clearly lacks in that department.

        Critical thinking would lead you to vote third party.

        What they lack is a specific piece of electoral information about first past the post voting: https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

        Combine the understanding that america–deeply unfortunately–uses first past the post voting with critical thinking, and it’s obvious third parties are, for now, a waste.

        But if you wrongly accuse them of not having critical thinking skills, they’ll use their critical thinking skills, which they have, to assume that you are not a good source of information, even though you’re encouraging them in the right direction.

          your video reaches the wrong conclusion. values voting is the only way to stop party consolidation. the problem is strategic voting.

      Last time I checked on those people they claimed Trump would be completely pro Palestinian and everyone who didn’t see this true true was stupid. Didn’t know they jumped right to jUsT As BaD.
