The point is not to win for the third party and don't even need to vote for the same third party.
The point is to protest the system until the two party system loses legitimacy and is reformed.
Unfortunately it lost legitimacy already, and all that happened is fascists consolidated power. It will never be reformed into functioning by the people capable of wielding power within it.
So destroy your democracy to make third parties viable in your democratic system?
There might be a flaw in this plan.
Is this democracy in the room with us right now?
Not very good with abstract thought are you?
Ok so here's an analogy for you. There's a grocery store and two checkout lines are open. One of the cashiers is a complete dick, says racist shit you don't like, and will probably going to scan your items multiple times just to fuck you over. The other cashier is old guy that's competent but slower then you'd like. Which line do you get in?
Ah, but you want to be a genius, so you go stand by a cashier that isn't open and complain about how the kind of employee to want to scan your items doesn't work at the grocery store so you're taking a stand! So you stand in that line that will never get your items scanned, and eventually the store closes and you end up with nothing. Everyone in either line thinks you're an idiot. "But someday they store will understand and hire a better cashier!" you think as you go home with no groceries. So you think everyone else is an idiot but they all when home with groceries while you went home with nothing.
This analogy assumes that at least one side under current system enables me to go home with "groceries"
I deff don't get any "groceries" and I slaved under both biden and trump. Things have been getting progressively worse all around tho.
There is a strong shill campaign to preverse the two party system. So regime must be feeling vulnerable.
As gamers say, if you see enemies, you are going the right way ;)
I love how you think you're clever, but in every post you come out more and more as a clown.
Your dumb plan works in a situation where there isn't one guy that is going to remove voting entirely(or at least functionally). Your garbage idea is "let's turn the US into Russia...look at how they broke the system and took down their dictator.....oh wait...."
We already had 4 years of trump lol
Ignorance is bliss, they say
I trust u bro
Good. Vote blue.
