Am I wrong?

I've always believed that voting third party is a lot like not voting at all, which is pretty much a vote by default for the sitting president who's up for reelection. I was told today, though, that I'm wrong on that. I really want to support a certain third-party candidate, but I know she's not going to win. I feel like it's a wasted vote, unfortunately. Am I wrong?

Technically no...but if you want to keep a certain party out badly enough vote tactically

@Cutiepi23 It's just confusing for me. My guy is third-party. Biden isn't my man. However, voting third-party doesn't feel right. I'm not sure why exactly.

@InkBot I was in a similar position in my country to, so I get it. Lesser of two evils perhaps idk

@InkBot Because a third party candidate can only affect the outcome, not actually win the election.
