    Shouldn't all voters' votes matter?

    Shouldn't all voters' votes matter? Even if a third party's platform better coincides with the opinions of many voters, most U.S. voters will not ”squander” their vote, but they rather choose what they consider to be the lesser of two evils, (i.e. between the Democrat or Republican)...
