It always amuses me when I say that I'm voting third party and someone from the uniparty starts crowing "You're throwing your vote away!"

So what if I am? Your party isn't entitled to my vote, you have to earn it. There has to be an effort made to court my vote or I'll give it to the party that I better align with. And in the next election, maybe your party with deign to grace me with a tidbit or two.
