Stoney Progressive takes on How voter shaming is pointless. Why is it ok to get mad at third-party voters when 45 percent of ppl don't vote? IF we got another 10 percent to vote we could have four parties.
I agree. People have the right to vote for anyone who is on the ballot, or in some cases, write in a vote. The reason that the U.S. doesn't have a viable third party is simply because they can't even get 10 percent of the vote in any election. The 2 main parties and all the news media make it sound like it's only an either/or vote. There are cases where an independent gets voted in, but not very often.

that either or scare tactic is why we are one of the lowest turnouts in the world for voting
