You’d think midterms would be a great time to get your name out there and run high profile candidates to win House districts led by charlatans…

    Greens / libertarians are just slightly different flavors of liberalism. There’s still only one ideology allowed.

      You’ve inadvertently highlighted the problem. There’s a third party, Party for Socialism and Liberation, that certainly isn’t liberal. But you’ve never even heard of them from the sounds of it. They’d do much better if instead of running an expensive presidential campaign, they put up candidates in your districts and ran ads for them.

        No they wouldn’t. The local elections here are non-partisan.
