Plus, 8 years of Trump and 2 losing retread Democrat flops could truly lead to a 3rd party resurgence. Or the 2024 election could be "too important" for anyone to vote 3rd party just like every election from 1976 on.
Also, everyone who hated Clinton in 16 should have voted for Johnson so when Trump won we'd at least have a 3rd option now. Fiscal conservatism and genuine freedom keep getting pushed aside because democrats need all hands on deck to defeat a celebrity wanna be dictator.
On the plus side my ultra liberal family and my wife's ultra conservative family can both hassle me about letting the bad guys win. That's fun. It's like getting two votes, really.
There is no viability for a 3rd party without ranked-choice voting in the U.S., as only then can people wade into it without feeling like they are throwing their vote away. Until then voting 3rd party is no different than voting for Mickey Mouse.
