It’s dumb to vote for a third party or independent candidate when they match your views?

I like this description. Perhaps voting for other parties or independents should be the response. Bipolar voting might be a symptom of bipolar parties that are both out of touch with the people they claim to represent.

Which goes to show that communication is intuitive, and often has instinctive leaps, which is what I was getting at here.
