  Better translation:  If it makes you feel good performing
  quixotic and meaningless acts, by all means do so.  However, if
  you REALLY want to effect any kind of change, paying a bit of
  attention to the difficulty of electing a third party candidate
  with such a narrow agenda as opposed to being able to get one
  of the two-parties to pay more attention to your agenda might
  just be a useful thing to do.

  Sorry, I only kick people based on individual tick-me-off
  criteria, not generic classifications or lack thereof.
