| Description | Voting third-party in this presidential election isn't merely impractical.
It's unprincipled.
With the two most-ever disliked major-party nominees on the ballot this year, many American voters are desperately seeking alternatives, including fictional characters and dead gorillas. Young voters in particular have been shunning the two main options, with some recent polls showing that a quarter to a third plan to vote for either Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson or Green Party nominee Jill Stein.
But these third-party options are bad candidates not simply because of their impracticality, or their underdog status, or some nonsense about a rigged political system.
Johnson and Stein are, on their own merits, terrible, unserious choices. They are unfit for office. |
