I haven’t been looking, but have the 3rd parties all vanished yet?
Unfortunately they have no hope of winning with the first past the post and strategic voting. Until that changes no substantial amounts of people will throw away their votes to them
Seriously, if third parties actually cared then they would contest local elections and try to gain senate/house seats which could force democrats and republicans to work with them to pass legislation.
But when third parties only show up once every four years in the single biggest election it shows that either they’re trying to play spoiler or just doing a quick cash grab.
3rd parties are just not viable in the US system. It’s not set up for accomplishing change within a first to the post voting system.

You’re right. The 15 million liberals that didn’t vote are just disenfranchised and disillusioned by a system that oppresses them and offers displacement genocides instead of pogroms.
Don’t absolve non voters of their dereliction of civic duty.
They’re supposed to vote and pick the best candidate. By not even voting third party they’ve said theyre just fine with everything that comes.
I say give it to them good and hard.
And if you do absolve them of their bullshit, theyre going to continue to do fuck all every single election.
Cool. We can’t control them, though, unless you’ve come up with a method of forcing people to vote. The democratic party campaign was supposed to get popular support. People were supposed to want to vote for them. That’s the whole point of political campaigning. The democratic campaign was wildly unpopular on every single point other than “isn’t Trump”. They cozied up to fascist talking points time and again, border military and ethnic cleansing. She barely even campaigned on any progressive points. It was a joke of a campaign.
The democratic party has lost touch with reality. They will welcome fascists in with open arms. Those images won’t ever be forgotten.
Had a big campaign but you can’t control media not reporting on that and only reporting on what she said of Trump.
And no- the whole point of political campaigning is to get people to vote FOR YOU. Not to vote AT ALL.
Again- Dems might be out of touch or blah blah blah but it doesn’t excuse people not voting. So again, let’s yell at the dumbasses who sat it all out too. Or else you’re just reaffirming they can do the same again and again and somehow only place blame on political parties. That’s pure garbage.
First time we’ve had a blowjob princess in the Oval Office. The fellater in chief will surely improve things.
I can’t even joke about the future without waves of dread ripping through my core out to the tips of my extremities. Is it going to be ok? It doesn’t feel like it’s going to be ok.
I’d say that Bill Clinton was also well positioned for the blowjob princess title
People who don’t organize don’t realize they’re the ones who have tried nothing.
Even if you do organize, you need to do something with the people you’ve gathered together.
I’ve been a part of this small local socialist group for a couple of years now and sometimes I feel like we’ve tried nothing too. We’re the same as everyone else. We have ideas but we don’t really seem to act on them all that much.
