    It’s bold of you to assume everyone who would vote 3rd party would otherwise “vote blue no matter who”. Also, not everyone lives in a swing state.

      No ones vote should be wasted, regardless of who you’re voting for. Vote for the person with the highest likelihood to win, with the closest platform that you could potentially get on with.

      If its hard, write a pro/con of the two possible winners, and then choose who has the least cons for you personally.

      Congrats, you now have part of a voting plan, and you’ll have a affectual vote .

        Glad to hear of your new found efforts to pass state level electoral reform and do away with the First-past-the-post voting system that is source of what you call “vote wasting”.

          Id love for that to be the way it happens. Sadly that’s down to local elections, but I can promise you Trump won’t give you that
