  • Yawn. I’ve been arrested opposing the GOP, you haven’t. I’ve been tear gassed, you haven’t. Etc, etc.

    You don’t reduce any harm supporting the Democratic Party. Trust me - because unlike you, I spent years actually volunteering and helping the Democratic party. You haven’t, you just like to pretend you’re doing something online. Just like your apparent Ukraine chickenhawkery - always easy to support a war when it’s some other poor bastard being conscripted, I guess?

    Keep daydreaming, it’s apparently all you’re good for.











  • It literally is not.

    What makes the third viable is voting for it. But that aside, making the Democrats lose with a clear auditable trail of votes to the left makes it clear they have to move left (and take the third party’s positions) or be destroyed. This is how the party system in the US has always worked, from the Whigs to the FDR coalition. The modern GOP almost did this, but was so sidelined by the FDR coalition and failures of Nixon that their right wing didn’t even have to leave under Reagan to take over.
