  • It sends a message to the 2nd party that they’re not doing enough for my vote. If they want my vote, they’ll have to change their policies to be more like the party I voted for.

    If the losing party loses by 10,000 votes, and 10,000 people voted third party, guess what, the strategists are going to try to find a way to capture those votes.

    Without those 10,000 votes for 3rd party, the 2nd party either does nothing or tries to get votes from the other side, moving their policies further toward the 1st party.

    I would say in the current political climate, 3rd party voting is more important than ever. The idea that it’s a vote for the other side is an absolute farce, an attempt at preventing change, and couldn’t be further from the truth.


  • Forcing someone to use a different form of media to get acceptable support for your product is pretty bullshit. If I can sign up for, pay for, and use your product for years without a telephone, I shouldn’t suddenly be forced to use a phone to get support.

    Even if that might be the best solution at this point, it’s still garbage and something to justifiably complain about, especially considering it’s mildly infuriating we’re talking about.











  • There’s a huge part of it that is because there’s no communication mechanism to resolve conflict on the road, really.

    If you’re stuck behind someone going slower than you want to, how can you clearly communicate that?

    Even in a world where you could clearly speak to them, there’s huge potential for disagreement there, and since the only communication mechanisms can very easily be construed as needlessly dangerous or aggressive, of course you’re gonna see frustration and anger as a result
