    Who are they going to vote for in what is effectively a two-party system, the Republicans with a sizeable group of Christo-fascists?

    They’ll get even worse than ignored, they’ll be targeted.

        3rd party has always been a guise to pull votes from Democratic candidates.

          Works both ways. Trump, if he’s not the nominee, will be splitting the other side too.

          There is no better year to get ranked voting than going 3rd party while both primaries split their votes.

          The MIC needs you to think it’s impossible or a waste of energy.

            It does not work like this.

              Do you genuinely think Trump loses primaries and just bows out and doesn’t go 3rd party?.. I don’t understand your take.

                So when you say “3rd party 2024” you’re suggesting voting for Donnie?

                Now I don’t understand your take.

                    Ok bud. You have a good time. I saw what happened with Bernie Sanders. I’m not getting Trump elected by voting 3rd party.

                    If you could actully prove Durverger’s Law wrong, you’d be famous.

                    But you can’t, so you’ll get Trump voted back into office instead, like a fucking chump.

        Can’t happen until you change the legislatures to 5 member proportional districts and the single-seat offices to something like approval voting (or any other voting system where it’s safe to give your favorite maximum support).

          Former NYC Mayor Ed Koch had a good line. "If you agree with me 51% of the time, you should vote for me. If you agree with me 100% of the time, talk to a doctor.’
