The Democratic National Committee is building its first team to counter third-party candidates, while outside groups stockpile money for a wider campaign.
Americans who don’t want a fascist takeover need to realize that FPTP does not give a single shit about your third-party candidate with ~1% of the vote. Sorry, it hurts but it’s true. If you fail to back Biden, you enable trump. It really is that simple. Is it healthy for our democracy? Hell no - but using the 2024 ballot box to make that statement is foolish, irresponsible, and dangerous. Sometimes the lesser of two evils is the best choice you’re going to get.
The machine has crushed their will. Half of America doesn’t vote. If they did, there would be no Republicans holding elected office basically anywhere.
No it ain’t and the US has never been a great democracy, far too many people have been systemically disenfranchised from its very inception, but if you ever want the opportunity to experience democracy then Trump can’t win which means Biden is the call to make, the only third party candidate with any traction right now is RFK Jr and he’s both a batshit crazy conspiracist and an obvious spoiler candidate. The only other choice is revolution but that’s not happening in time and even if it does happen that doesn’t guarantee that what comes after will be good. So either put on your fatigues or realize the reality of the situation we’re in vs why it’s not a good system
I can’t fucking stand Biden but he’s not a fascist authoritarian that will usher in Christian nationalism to the halls of power. Trump and RFK are, fuck all three of them but one is a treatable cancer and the other two are pancreatic and late stage lung cancer
Good.

There must not be very many of them, otherwise they could simply all register Republican and take over the party to steer it in the right direction.

And risk getting death threats from all the MAGAs? It would probably be a better idea just to start your own party and keep those fucks out.
Let me just climb into my political party cannon and blast off to political party land
That’s not democracy.
