that’s almost the worst thing you can do in a two party system, short of not voting at all. It sucks that the system only really allows two parties but throwing away your vote on a third party is not the way to fix it
Necessary? Depends what the issues are and how they impact you.
It comes down to game theory. Voting against the lesser evil is advantageous to you because if they win, things will be slightly less bad. If you throw your hands up and say it doesn’t matter, you’re not giving any disadvantage to the greater evil.
This mentality of picking between worst options isn’t very appealing. Better y’all vote for some third party (even if they don’t win as whole)

And money’s involvement in politics just exacerbates everything.
Appealing? No.
