        @paulkrugman Major parties will continue to serve $h*t sandwiches playing the "least evil" game. Make them change - vote 3rd party

        @paulkrugman What matters is the ability to work with congress. @GovGaryJohnson has that, neither of the others does.

        This argument is terrible. The election will be decided by <1% of voters, unless you are one, tactical voting is pointless

        @nytimes doesn' T the "vote as if it matters" arg also negate the "pick the lesser of two evils" arg?

        @nytimes Regardless of who I vote for, or if I don't vote, HRC gets credit. I live in CA. I really have no say.

        Except that in most states, it doesn't matter. Thanks to the electoral college, Nov. 8 is a foregone conclusion for most of us.

        Astounded by how many smart, and otherwise well meaning people will tell feeble, transparent lies for political partisanship.
