Third Party candidates could fuck us [View all]

Any Democrat or moderate entering the presidential race is handing the presidency to Trump. And if Trump doesn't win the Republican nomination, they're handing it to any Republican who ends up being the nominee.

If you're thinking of voting for any third-party candidate, please listen to me. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS. Your vote will help put another Republican prick in the White House.
