    Let’s not forget that the Republicans are actively stripping voting rights away. Do leftists really think letting them win is gonna be a good strategy for any hope to change the system?

    I say this as a leftist that it is ludicrous to think letting the Republicans win (as that is all voting 3rd party federally will accomplish). Let’s not delude ourselves into thinking either A) the Republicans would actually let any left-leaning power bloc or parry exist or B) people stuck under Republicans will violently overthrow them and institute left-leaning policies/government.

      You’re preaching to the choir, lol. What’s most astounding to me is that this 3 partyist position has gotten more popular after the half success of Bernie Sanders.

      Like a socialist almost made it into the White House, and socialism is more mainstream in this country than ever before, and now they want to go back to the old way of trying things.
