    The truth is that third parties are bad, period, in a FPTP system.

    It doesn’t matter who the third party is, or what they stand for. Three idiots voting for shiny distraction candidates in a 51/49 vote split from the 51 vote ‘coalition’ ensure that all 51 voters get whatever the 49 voters picked because 49 is better than 48 plus three third party votes. It’s even MORE important when those three votes enable Agolf Twitler to be elected into office and round up all the gays, Muslims, minorities, and whoever else dares step out of line of the new Right-Wing Authoritarian Dictatorship detailed in Project 2025.

      I disagree with what you are saying. But hey, you have a right to that opinion. I, and many others, don’t share that opinion though.

      I’m proudly voting third party. I have the bumper stickers and everything. Let’s f’n go!!!

        Reality does not care if you agree that it exists.

        I like my presidential candidates to have the basic civics knowledge that I learned in elementary school.

        I guess that’s a tough ask for some…
