Iā€™m a sorry, but itā€™s all a jigger and pony show, now.

I never said that. Or perhaps, I didnā€™t say what I meant clearly enough. Specific to John Oliverā€™s entire rant, if you vote third-party THIS year, and you plan to defend your action with a reasonable, logical argument, the only one that fits is that youā€™re voting to establish a foundation for a better chance at winning in four years. I voted for Ralph Nader every time he ran precisely for the reasons you mentioned- he was quite simply the best choice out of all of the ones offered. I donā€™t have that luxury in 2016. I like Jillā€™s positions, but I canā€™t seriously argue that sheā€™d make a great leader. Thankfully, though, I donā€™t have to, for the reasons I already mentioned.
