I'm going to spell this out for you.
No 3rd party has the power to accomplish anything, anywhere. Especially in regards to winning the presidency. Why? Because none have done the work to get elected locally, to build support, to eventually get some kind of presence in the House or Senate. They have no power. Period.
So among the two options you actually have, are you going to vote for a traitor party that has placed a traitor in the Oval Office, stripped women of rights, fired hard working federal employees, including veterans, and profusely lied about our democratic institutions? Or are you going to vote for a party that actually respects the Constitution and is absolutely more malleable than their opponents, which means they can change over time with pressure from voters.?
All your comment is accomplishing is sitting on the fence and making no positive change. You can complain about our system all day. That's not changing anything.
You are incorrect. I have 4 options. I could not vote, or i can vote third party anyway because that’s the only way forward. You can argue however you like but you are wholly unconvincing, and you resort to the same “you HAVE to vote democrat or your Hitler and helping the republicans” that proves to me that the Democratic Party will NEVER change and they must be dismantled to move forward. Sucks that they have to be fixed before the republicans are halted but that’s how i see it.
And you can skip the part where to apologize for the democrat’s not obstructing the republicans because of the “public’s mandate” cuz its wholly unconvincing as well
