there's nothing wrong with third parties
in a voting system that can handle it
if we get ranked choice voting, people can vote third party to their heart's content, it threatens nothing
but in our current shitty FPTP system, it just divides the left (or, the right, see ross perot who gave us bill clinton by robbing from gbush sr)
