I wish there was a viable 3rd party candidate in any of the presidential elections but, until a 3rd party legitimately grows, it remains a wasted vote. Sure, you can show support and feel entitled and throw up your hands two years later and scream, "I VOTED THIRD PARTY!" when the world has gone to hell, but that's about it. I constantly hear that it isn't a wasted vote but I can't decipher why. There is no chance that a 3rd party vote in this upcoming election will have any impact - just like we have seen in the past. I like plitnickm's point that the 3rd party must start from the ground up. If someone gets their shit together, it seems like it could be viable in a number of years. Highly unlikely for 2016.
