The third party fantasy is kind of stupid anyway, because even if it worked you'd now be fighting Democrats and Republicans, instead of just one.
But I suspect that what a lot of these people want more than they want a better world.
let's review two things people still struggle with:
1. not voting only helps #MAGA
it does not improve anything nor convince anyone. it only serves your selfish entitlement and smug self-gratification
2. a 3rd party #vote in our shit #FPTP system only helps MAGA
it divides the left vote. it's just math
we have to take over the #Democrats
it's the only way
And look!
people are beginning to get it 😁 :
EARLY RESULTS. they can still lose
