It's crazy how if I vote third party, or not at all I am both voting for Harris and for Trump, depending on who you ask.

My theory, and it is just a theory, is that Trump wins the electoral college vote, but Kamala wins the popular vote by a wide enough margin that by the next election, if there is one, they start to abolish the electoral college. Maybe then a third party candidate could actually make some changes.

I think the fact that Walz spoke out against the ec shows that even he thinks this is a likely outcome.

Unlikely, both parties love the electoral college because it destroys any chance of a third party victory.
