Who is running third party for folks to rally behind? Moreover, who is running that would somehow overcome both major parties’ candidates by drawing enough away from them to win or in some way effect a change in process?
The thing is most people are Third party without knowing it. They’ve just been brainwashed into thinking there are only two options and are solely focused on being on the “winning” side, heavily persuaded into “fear” voting.
I would agree with you if we didn’t have a two party majority and FPtT voting. You would also have to have a strong third party candidate that most people are excited about and is not trying to be a spoiler. You also will need to start persuading those you have mentioned who “are third party without knowing it” way before the election. Also getting a majority for a third party in the electoral college.
I want to be wrong and am willing to be convinced. I am curious how you see third party as an option with or without voting reform and how to persuade people to consider it.
I think if you just introduce the Libertarian’s website to people and explain how they want to reduce the size and taxation of the Govt with simple rules, I believe people would come around.
Also, point out how New Hampshire is mainly Libertarian now because of the Free State Project and look at the things they’ve done there.
He studied Lenin’s notes about voting in Russia before the revolution and compares it to today. I get it. I never get to read half the stuff I’d like to. He also spoke on the Upstream podcast if you have time.
👍 You clearly think rationally, so if you have any recommendations for reading, YouTube, listening, I would appreciate it. I enjoy learning about how the world works.

August Nimtz wrote a book about this, it’s called “voting fetishism.”

Upstream deserves praise. It has some intelligent conversations, not just dictations.
