Dear Bernie Supporters,

If it comes to be that Hilary wins, please PLEASE for the love of all that is holy, DO NOT write in sanders, PLEASE just vote for hilary, because can we please all agree that almost ANYONE would be better than trump. I’m begging you.

Or just vote third party

Third parties have no chance of winning, haven’t for a long time, and probably never will with our current election system. Voting third party because your preferred candidate didn’t get the nomination in your preferred party is a wasted vote, and may as well be a vote for the other main party.

One of the problems with the US election system: It inevitably comes down to two main political parties, and any vote that is cast for any party other than the voter’s preferred party of those two only hurts said preferred party, and helps the opposing party.

This YouTube playlist gives a great rundown of why this is the case, and some alternatives that everyone should know about, even if it’s extremely unlikely the system in place will change any time soon.

In the meantime, if you’re a Bernie Sanders supporter, and Hillary should happen to get the nomination instead, [b]please vote for her![/b] She may not be as great a candidate as Sanders, but she’s still worlds better than anyone else who actually has a shot at winning.

Ever consider the possibility that the reason third parties don’t win is because people are told that third parties are a waste?

It’s almost like when people are told not to vote for a party their entire life they don’t generally vote that party whether or not the party is actually good
