Then the independent would still lose, by a very large margin, because 99%+ of the voting population has never communicated with you or even knows you exist.

I'm not the guy who came up with voting for 3rd party. Lmao. Wtf.

As for "What if a majority of voters voted Independent?" Might as well ask "What if people stopped being hateful bigots?"

OK. But you are the person who is refusing to vote any other way. People won't vote 3rd party because they think like YOU.

You are the problem. In this scenario you would be the hateful bigot who refuse to change…
