It’s crucial to acknowledge that there have been documented cases where candidates have entered races specifically to confuse voters or draw votes away from a particular party. Ignoring these tactics is just as dangerous to democracy as discounting the role of third parties.
While I understand your commitment to voting for the candidate that aligns with your beliefs, it’s essential to consider how these strategies can impact the electoral process as a whole. Recognizing these issues doesn’t undermine the value of third-party candidates; rather, it highlights the complexities and challenges within our political system.
I believe that voting for the candidate who best represents my beliefs is not just a right—it’s a responsibility. One that I take very seriously.
I don’t belive there is a spoiler effect, and that it relies on the strength of candidates. I understand and appreciate that you disagree, and you have every right to your opinions. As do I.
