Why are Democrats still trying to paint third-party voters as "protest voters"?
They don't like your candidate and they never have.
It just baffles me why that's so difficult for Democrats to swallow. Accept it. They don't want Trump as president, but they also don't want Hillary either. They don't care if you glare at them. They are aware their candidate's chances are slim to none, but these people are putting their votes behind someone who's values they can believe and trust in. They don't care if you think "a vote for third-party is a vote for Trump!!!". To say they are protesters would be to imply that they are going against what they are obligated to do. You aren't entitled to their support.
This belittling approach and attacking third-party voters like they're bad toddlers that need to be disciplined is not going to work. Telling people it's their moral duty to vote Hillary to hold off some inevitable apocalypse is not going to work.
They don't care to "make history". They don't care how bigoted you say Trump is.
The Democrats are centering their platform around fear and it's going to backfire if they don't spend the next 50 days giving people on the fence better REASONS to vote for their candidate.
