Vote 3rd party, the 2 party system in the US is a scam, and your vote is just a drop in the bucket anyway.

Vote for either party provides legimacy to the regime as a whole, which is a nice feature for them as they take turns playing good cop/bad cop.

Math & Game Theory will never allow a viable 3rd party in the USA as long as we still have FPtP voting.

Your individual vote is worth little but convincing many people of their impotence is incredibly effective at swinging elections. See: US Bernie/Green Party votes 2016.

I voted for Bernie in the primaries, twice. But the young people didn't go out and vote for him and he lost. I think Bernie is too old to run now too.
