Voting Third Party is the Electoral Equivalent of Sending Thoughts and Prayers - That’s politics, and more importantly, that’s America. It’s not a place built by storming out of the room in a moralistic crusade, and it’s certainly not a place where sitting on the side-lines free from any blame deserves virtuous acclaim.
