    Good, it’s blatantly clear the US “left” has to be forced to go third party, cause they sure as shit aren’t taking that critical responsibility on themselves

    Maybe some hard CIA medicine will wake the berniecrats up, tho I doubt it considering a genocide couldn’t do the trick

      Going third-party in FPTP elections with such polarized parties as today only splits the vote. Without major election reform it’s just a plain old bad idea.

        The point is not to win national elections outright, but to solidify a base and create a nation-spanning organization capable of challenging the two parties first in local, state and then finally national elections

        That requires electoral sacrifices in the meantime, sacrifices that at this point in time should be easy to make considering dems aren’t winning elections anyway
