In this case I vote for myself as other.
I wish to be the leader of my own domain and receive federal funding for telling people about my desires.
Voting 3rd party is pretty with the way our election system works. Vote 3rd party for your local office positions if you want to vote 3rd party.
I love oops

Probably the same as any other party.
A $10 million repayment on loans.
Imagine you're self funding up to $10 million.
Then you use that $10 million at your own establishments (food, travel, accounting, strategists, media) - basically you're cycling that money back into your pockets.
Plus you get $10 million from federal funding of you make it that far.
You've just made money running an election win or lose.
Sound familiar?

$20 mil is nothing for a political campaign.
I love oops
Spoiler : :
Its based on the the ratio of the party’s popular vote in the preceding presidential election to the average popular vote of the two major party candidates in that election.
So around 10 million at least - considering that Stein has raised only under 2 million this election and Johnson has raised under 8, the would provide a significant leap in the movements each party is trying to create

A growing percentage of Americans want more options than the two we are given every four years and find the parties less and less representative of what they believe in and stand for.
The main thing killing third parties is recognition. If people knew who they were they would do better and raise more money. A federal head start helps that.

Yeah Johnson is a fool.
Ron Paul didn't endorse Stein persay, but he did have good things to say about her.

Had Perot not been a derp and dropped out, he was in a good position to win a number of states in 1992 and be a big time spoiler -- i.e. it wasn't that long ago that a third party was pulling 20-30% in the polls. In June 1992, Perot was polling at 37% vs. 24% for Bush and Clinton each.

i would vote jill stein if she didnt pander to antivaxxers and other supporters of junk science
I have heard your voices, and modified the other thread to be more inclusive for third-party candidates. Where possible, I have transferred over votes from this thread. I will close this thread now, as it is redundant.
