LOL. You dweebs can’t organise to vote for a third party. How are you going to organize to destroy the system when the system has military hardware.

And many of the so-called “leaders” do absolutely nothing of what actually needs to be done to foster legitimate third parties. And we do know what needs to be done, it’s not a mystery. They just don’t ever fucking do it.
To the point where it sometimes becomes suspicious (looking at you, Jill Stein).
Ah yes. Magician Jill Stein. Who magically appears before elections, never has even the whisper of a path to victory, then disappears after the election. Not suspicious at all. Great 3rd party representation.
For the record, she had 0.5% of the total votes cast in 2024, and she was the most popular 3rd party candidate. If people that voted 3rd party could understand numbers, they’d finally realize why voting 3rd party in a federal election is, how do I put it? Stupid.
The thinking is that more votes for a third party will move the policies of the two larger parties further towards the third party.
Sometimes it’s suggested in safe democrat seats.
I think US politics is unusual in that the primaries determine what type of candidate is going to set the tone for the party.
As in, the dems are a broad church, that could have a conservative or a progressive leader.
This is what I don’t get about the 3rd party tribe. Literally no 3rd party is even remotely organized enough to even come close to winning a federal election, much less local elections. I don’t know if any amount of physical brain damage could make me dumb enough to vote for a 3rd party presidential candidate. It’s just so uniquely pointless.
