That's not entirely accurate; if it were, I'd go for the best candidate - even if there were third party.
There are LOTS of folks who will vote party lines period. THIS is what will split the vote the worst if there is a better candidate who is third party.
How is this different than what I said? It's exactly what I'm trying to convey- You can only control your vote- The majority will just stick with party lines to avoid "flushing their vote".. but at the same time, it's exactly what causes the split votes..
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ, we are the III%, CIP2, and some other catchphrase meant to aggravate progreSSives who are hell bent on taking rights away...
