Not just *waste* their vote, but possibly inadvertently
elect the greater of the two major-party evils.
Perennial Socialist candidate Norman Thomas used to say,
"If you only use your vote to choose between the lesser
of two evils, that's the only choice you'll ever have."
That's true only up to a point, though. If the greater
evil who is elected because a third party siphons off
votes for the lesser evil happens to be *particularly*
evil, you may not even have a chance to vote for the
*lesser* evil next time.
