Stop pretending a single private party with zero accountability is enough of an option against Republicans

Mathematically, they quite literally are the only option until we can get rid of FPtP voting. It's not the DNC's fault that "3rd parties" aside from the DSA refuse to do the ground work necessary at state & local level to be taken seriously by anyone other than a handful of crackpots.
