Not sure where you live, but if you don’t live in a swing state, you’re wasting your vote if you DON’T vote third party.
Matching public campaign funds are calculated nationally. If you’re in a solid red/blue state then you’re 100% wasting your vote on a major party, because they opt out of public funds, an your vote isn’t going to change a built-in 10% difference in the tally. But if you vote 3rd party, you’re voting into a national pool that could potentially get that 3rd party automatic ballot access and matching federal funds for campaigning.
So if you’re like the majority of us, in a state that doesn’t matter, then you can just levy the accusation right back at them and ask why they’re wasting their vote.
