Clerk Note: More so than any other election cycle, a vote for a Democrat or a Republican is a wasted voted. Only votes for third parties will have any effect.

If you've at any point said that you're voting outside the Republican or Democrat parties, then you've probably heard a very tired line.
"You're wasting your vote!" is something that I've received ad nauseum since I made up my mind to leave the Republican party, and vote for the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson. It's a phrase that many people believe they're logistically right for saying, since a vote that is not for their candidate is obviously a vote for the opposing candidate.
It's not a very well thought out accusation. By those rules, if I'm not voting for either candidate, then I guess I'm voting for both and it cancels each other out. Either way, that's not how it works in our Republic. My vote is who it's for, and no one else.
