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.
Ross Perot would like a word.
Short of God himself striking down Trump with a lightning bolt, he will be the nominee.
It does not work like this.
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.
Giant asteroid 2024
Ever wonder why Steve Bannon is working so hard to recruit 3rd party candidates?
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).
Tell me you don't understand math & game theory without telling me you don't understand math & game theory.
Tell me you don't understand the trolley problem without telling me you don't understand game theory.
And that's how you effectively voted for whichever of the 2 parties you hate least.
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.'
