O’Donnell reveals that he himself has been an alternative party voter in the past, without saying which party, and continues to consider it a good idea in safe states, but counsels against doing so in battleground AKA swing states.

She serves as managing editor of Independent Political Report and executive director of the Outsider Media Foundation, a nonprofit news organization focused on independent and alternative political movements. She has studied third parties and political outsiders since her student years.

Yes, but for much of his audience that takes lesser evil mythology as a given, even putting the thought into their heads that they are “free” to buck the duopoly in most states is a good step.
Plus, mentioning the issues and candidates is good for candidates that are largely unknown and ignored.

If you counsel voters to not vote against the duopoly in swing states then you are advocating against the interests of the new parties. If the Rs and the Ds don’t need to worry about people escaping their influence in swing states then they can safely ignore the issues new parties bring to the front.
Yeah, that part is bogus, but you still gotta give him some props for boosting third parties on a (fairly) major corporate network at all.
“…counsels against doing so in battleground AKA swing states.” Pfffft.
