    Democrats would rather lose their power “temporarily” than lose their influence permanently with a progressive.

    We need a third party like four months ago. We are running out of time to challenge the standing democrats.

        Just here to point out that the 3rd party candidate with the most votes was Jill Stein with a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast.

        There is no viable 3rd party. And there won’t be until they start working to get elected at the local/state level and start getting members in Congress.

      We need a third party like four months ago.

      Then tell one to do the back-breaking work over decades to start having members in Congress so they have a shot at winning a presidential election.

      There isn’t some cheat code for a 3rd party candidate to become president.
