I mentioned that I voted, and they naturally asked me who I voted for. I said, "De la Cruz. Third party."

"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that?", one of them said, and the whole group looked at me a bit puzzled — so I reiterated, "De la Cruz, a third-party candidate."

"...Wait, there's a *THIRD* party?"

    Oh sure, debating expert-shapiro is mainly a waste of time. Answering questions and educating is good though.

      Yeah, I got to explain how voting from abroad works, and I got to explain the general voting patterns of my family across the sea, so I did get to answer a few questions in that regard.
