~~6~~ 4 months left to jump ship to a third party candidate. Still plenty of time to get a movement going.
Biden just threw the last remainder of his election chances away. Not sure why everyone's still pretending he has a chance.
6 decades of third parties have failed to gain momentum but sure, 6 months (or 4) is plenty.
I recall a certain figure in 2016 going from 1% chance to winning the election in a matter of months.
Once the first big Democrat endorsers jump ship to a third party it's all Joever. Nobody is voting Dem because they want to anymore. And now even the excuse of "Biden is our only shot" is falling apart. There's zero chance this Biden can Trump after his debate performance.
Unfortunately there are only 4 months left until the election.
You're right. Time is passing way too fast.
How can you both be wrong? There are 5 months left.
The election is November 5th and June is over. It's 4 months and a handful of days.
You’re right. Sorry!
I'm sorry, but that's just not realistic. It would take years, if not decades, to get enough Democrats to defect in order to make a third-party candidate viable. As long as first-past-the-post voting is still our system, it would be easier to take over the Democratic party than create a new, viable party. Unfortunately, if you live in a swing state, the best thing you can do is vote for Biden.
So who should we get behind? Cornel West, Jill Stein, or RFK Jr?
I'm feeling Cornel, but I could get behind Jill Stein too.
Certainly not RFK he's just another israeli puppet.
I like Cornel West more but it's looking like the momentum for third party is behind Jill Stein. She's certainly not a bad compromise.
Yeah, I was just looking and Jill Stein is actually pretty good on Gaza. She has called it a genocide, and that carries some weight from her because she had relatives who fled from pogroms in Europe.
