Maybe if everyone that posted threads like this voted 3rd party, maybe 3rd party would get enough votes for once to push a reelection and get on the radar? Instead of trying to get people to vote for 2 candidates that don't support their needs and/or wants.
You do realize that the winning president has to win at least 50% of the electoral college vote in order to win. If no one president does then the top 3 candidates go to the house of representatives to be chosen. Just the media if this happened would finally put a third party on the radar, even if they only won one state.

That’s the spirit. Dream big!
I remember how this was totally going to happen with Jill Stein multiple times. And also Gary Johnson. And Ralph Nader. And H. Ross Perot (18.9% of the vote and still no electoral votes) and probably Harold Stassen too.
