It completely depends what state you are voting in. Where polling shows a certain winner, 3rd party can provide a signal for how broken the system is, and might bring a 5% threshhold durable gain for the 3rd party.
See I think its a bigger deal to send more of a signal to repbulicans. we need them to lose big and in no uncertain manner. They have a really small rabid base and I think we have more of a chance of literally eliminating that party the way the wigs were. Will there be new conservative party, yeah, but it should start much more towards center and we should then push massively left. As a matter of fact it could just become a split of the democrats.
If California was 65 Dem, 5 third party, GOP 30, it's still a signal against GOP compared to 70 30 split. It is more of a signal for Dems to not keep ratcheting to the right.
I agree to not vote 3rd party in PA or MI.
