    Who else is voting 3rd party this November? Maybe we well get lucky and both will move on before the election.

      The time for advocating 3rd party is after the election. A 3rd party has no chance with only a year of really getting pushed, should have happened 3 years ago and it failed this time around. Try to get enthusiasm for a third party after the election. Too much at stake this time around for a last minute protest vote.

        No, the time for a 3rd party presidential run is after that third party already has local and state support/positions. Top-down attempts at creating a viable third party have virtually no chance at changing the status quo, and would likely make it worse as they’d be deadlocked with Congress and voted out after one term. Then we’ll have to hear forever about how this party was a terrible idea…

              The time for advocating for third parties is always conveniently some other time.

                I feel like you’re being obtuse here. You can’t get mad if you hit the gas and the car goes in the wrong direction, if you refuse to shift out of reverse first

              See? Always conveniently some other time.

              Just say you’re happy with the two party pro-genocide hegemony.

                I’m not. But I don’t think another Trump presidency will improve our voting options afterwards. Do you think so?
