    I’m in Canada and I’ve always supported the third candidate consistently. I always vote the New Democratic Party, the NDP in our province and national elections … I’ll even volunteer a bit of time and support the local campaigns and I donate to them annually. And it never matters to me, if polls show that they are definitely going to lose, I’m still voting for them. Even if people claim that my vote is ‘splitting’ the vote, I’ll still hold onto my principles and vote for who I want, not play some game to try to choose the one I disagree with the least.

      But that’s not really relevant to your comment. I’m specifically asking about your assertion that everyone “just let him walk in”, so what would you have done different about that?

      almost half of the participating voters did exactly what you did - Voted for somebody else. It’s weird to me that you think they “don’t do enough“, but that’s all you’ve done.
