Personally I assumed third party. It’s the common bullshit line they spout despite knowing third party candidates have little to no chance of winning under our current electoral system. They voted idealistically instead of practically and pat themselves on the back as if their protest votes actually meant anything.
Essentially, yeah.
Elves’ spirits either linger in Middle Earth or go to the Halls of Mandos in Aman. After some period of time, they can be re-embodied if they choose.
The souls of men did not linger, they were called to the Halls of Mandos upon death. Their souls would stay for a while in Mandos, separate from the elves, until they departed the Halls to only Eru knows where.
