A vote for a third party under FPTP is mathematically a vote against the party closest to your values. If you live in the US, that means you vote(d) against the Democratic Party and for the Republican Party.
I too long for a third party, but 2024 is not the time.
Unfortunately, most people won’t understand this and still vote for third party even when third party will almost certainly never win, in the context of present day Murican politics.
Imagine if you could vote to stop the meteor but choose to stay home and read the comics instead.
“But think of the jobs the meteor will create!”
Also, “don’t look up.”
Imagine actively voting for the meteor to hit earth faster!
I hear the meteor has a lot of palladium, which should help our economy.
I would like to celebrate it as a foundational nutrient for all life on Earth
The meteor and global warming are both the same, still trying to kill people. I will vote third-party for world peace instead.

But I’m protesting the meteor by not voting!
40% of people are voting to divert the meteor and 40% are voting to accelerate it towards us…
Hmmm… I vote we change the moon’s orbit a bit. I’m a single-issue voter and neither plan really addresses the moon very well.
That’s pretty good. I don’t have anything to add.
I voted to stop the meteor. Now I’m reading comics.
That’s understandable and not implied by the comic, so you’re not targeted by my joke.
