the fact remains that in deep-red Tennessee, all of our states electoral votes WILL go to the GOP. There is absolutely no question about it.

I can vote a show of support for a third party, like the Justice Party, without impacting the Democratic Party's chance of success. If there was a chance that my vote would help elect a Republican, I wouldn't do it. But there's not, which leaves me free to vote third party.

Here is the Justice Party's platform from 2013. It's worth a look. Their candidate Rocky Anderson was on the ballot in 2012.
