Well I always put my fingers in my ears when people start telling me it's a wasted vote to vote for any third party candidate or a write-in. I don't vote in the primaries anyway, which is a big popularity contest to get your name listed on the ballet choices. I often do vote for a name on the ballot, but not always for the presidential office.
Yeah, I understand the complaints, but I can't change the hoops systems we have to use to legally elect people unless more people want to protest how local ballots and primary votes are counted. I think it would do a lot of good for both the DNC and the RNC to have their own party members demand better fairness for elections within their own party.
