Agreed, but the "I only vote third party" people never think about elections unless it's the presidential election (gestures vaguely around), when it's far too late. This is work that needs to start at a local level to build the party slowly and methodically on a solid foundation and integrate it into the system through numbers and results. Americans just don't have the attention span.
Lmao. What? Federal elections get third parties ballot access. Inside third parties they use ballot access to run as many people as they can in local elections. The reality is, they sort of cut off their federal candidates and focus on local ones, because they can't afford to exceed in kind donation limits.
I've ran for state house as a third party candidate. Try it sometime instead of spouting ignorance.
