    Don’t get me wrong, I’d love 3rd party representation, but the way it works right now in this country, they don’t stand a chance. They exist today as spoilers, I mean, how effective is Jill stein for anything outside of an election?

    What I’d like to do, is get dems in place, then pressure the shit out of theme through the primary process, through town halls, through letter writing, and all the ways we can manifest our power. Pressure them to get ranked choice voting, then we can start focusing on third parties. There is NO republican support for this, there are several Democrats who do (Mpls uses it now).

      This country doesn’t fucking work right now, we had four years of biden just to end up in the same fucking place or even worse. Yeah that’s great NYC and Minneapolis have ranked choice in their city elections, those are just Democrats by convention only. The Dems in Washington led by Schumer and Jefferies are happy to let trump ruin the country as long as they get to fundraise off purported “opposition.”
