The vote-shaming engines have predictably kicked into high gear in America as the presidential election approaches, with shitlib pundits like Bill Maher doing their part to paint third-party voters as the most toxic people in the world. Which is of course ridiculous. I have no strong opinions about how Americans should vote in November, but it's obvious that in terms of toxicity third-party voters are not on the list of people who are worthy of criticism. The dire situation humanity now finds itself in under the leadership of the US hegemon is not the fault of a small fringe faction which doesn't want to support oligarch-coddling ecocidal warmongers, it's the fault of those who help preserve America's oligarchic ecocidal warmongering status quo.
If you count the 40% of Americans who don't vote, those of us who refuse to support the two-headed monster political party system constitute far more than a fringe. Combine them with those of us who bother to vote third party(when we have that option), and we're a plurality.
