"I'm generally fine with whoever gets elected. And most college educated Americans are as well. Third party votes throw volatility into the system which those of us who are doing well in the current system don't like very much. "It can even backfire and get a guy like Trump elected! "Don't tell me there should have been better choices. That's no excuse. These are the choices you get in a two party system. Eat your peas and like it. It's immature to protest vote. "Never mind the choices offered made most of the voting public rightly disgusted. You're enabling the underclasses and the wealthy greedheads! You're a traitor to your professional class in the upper middle! "Never mind that, if one wishes to see a third party emerge to challenge the two party system, the only way to do that is... wait for the drum roll... voting for a third party. Like I said earlier: Eat your peas and pick from the status quo choice you've been given. "And never mind I'm really just 'arguing my book' - that one candidate is better for people like us, and one is not, and I think people who voted third party caused the candidate that would benefit me, and other college educated folks like me, to lose."
