      I blame the Democratic party as much as anybody else for not being progressive enough, but nobody can blame a party for their own decision not to vote.

        Are you one of the people who consider voting third party to be tantamount to not voting?

          No, voting third party is different from not voting, but in some situations (like when there’s a danger of someone like Trump winning), voting for the most viable candidate is far more rational than voting for a guaranteed loser to send the system a wholly ineffectual message that you’re not happy with it. In that case you’re just jerking off in the corner.
