People are just dumb, plain and simple. So when the vote forces you to choose between far right politics, and far right politics+racism+shaking up a broken system, I can sympathize with why they voted for a third party, or even why they voted for shake up the system.
What I don't understand is the smaller group of dipshits, who don't understand even the basics of causality. Who will shout to whoever will listen that Donald Trump is the fault of that small group of third party voters, and not ENTIRELY the responsibility of the Dems being ineffective, woe is me, deep right, billionaire agenda, pretend to care but do nothing, pieces of useless shit that they are, so much so that an orange conman won the election. Stop fucking pretending the that the choice between cutting off your dick, and cutting off your dick and eating it, are valid enough choices that your typical uninformed, heavily propagandized voter, should definitely have obviously chose cutting off their dick but not eating it.
Lets not even get into the fact that the GOP can only be this extremely far right because the Dems have themselves moved so far right that the rubber band between them doesn't have to stretch barely at all.
But yeah lets blame the third party voters.
