CMV: We need to see more third party voters in America.

I can accept that my candidate lost, but I resent the assertion that I should automatically give the other candidate my vote. I don't know if I can. There's several other political parties, some of whom run candidates and some who endorse candidates. 

I can also write in. 

Somebody will win the presidency, and it seems likely that whoever it is, they won't have my back. Why should I throw my political choice to them? To help the final count seem to overwhelmingly endorse those two? 

I think I can do better, even knowing I won't get my way this time around.

The election system needs a revamp before voting for third parties becomes viable.  Right now, if you support a third party, what it effectively does is take votes away from the major party that you might not perfectly align with but is the one that is closer to your stance.  This in the end has the result of making the party that you are further from more likely to win.  This is asking people to pick between the lesser of two evils, but it is the reality of how our election is structured.  Third parties have little chance at success.

I would say that moving to a Single Transferable Vote for single position elections (like President or Governor) and proportional representation for legislative bodies (like Congress or state legislatures) would make voting for a third party an actual viable strategy.  However, until we see that kind of election reform, people are best off voting for the major party candidate that is closest to their views.
