Protest candidates always say the votes aren't wasted, but will contribute to some future cause (eg. multiple parties, infrastructure, etc). The problem is that, at least in my lifetime, as well as my parents', these same candidates haven't produced these outcomes after elections

Although, I'm only talking about left-wing protest candidates here. The story is possibly different when it comes to right-wing ones, especially during post-Civil Rights alignment.

Still, my point: left-wing protest candidates haven't produced outcomes in my lifetime. Not in terms of party building, infrastructure, any of the causes they care about. Nothing. I wish people would stop being deceived by the "actually your vote IS pragmatic" argument.

Nader was much more effective *before* he started running as a third party candidate.

At least Nader did not engage in direct grifting. Remember that "recount fundraiser" nonsense? Where did any of that money end up

No, instead they set their causes back bc they split the vote w of the 2 greenest candidates of major parties to to ever run, resulting in more than a decade of not just lost time but moving backward on the issues.
