I would say that there’s a lot of work to do in general. Protest voting is like any protest. It’s disruption to draw attention to a problem. It doesn’t solve problems, it isn’t even an attempt to solve a problem. Protest is the last step before violence, and most people aren’t willing to go any further.
The fact that people are willing to protest vote is everybody’s problem. You can’t say the protesters are wrong, or their methods are wrong, or that they don’t have valid concerns.
No third party president will ever succeed at all under the current system.
So you could say there is some work to do before protest voting for the presidency?
