I think firewitch’s point was that third parties almost by definition have zero chance of getting a candidate elected in a first past the post system. This is pretty common knowledge.
I don’t think it’s zero, but it’s quite unlikely for the next few decades at least.
My point is if an American is in a non-swing state, then wt:thons vote counts for little: so thon might as well vote for thons heart, and maybe the number of votes might get attention.

Ah, I see, you have done the math. Ok, this is the only condition which I would consider voting 3rd party not morally dubious. Thanks!
