      The thing that works the least is shitting in the pool, which is what voting third party is.

        Voting alone was never going to work. Organize then we can talk about whether voting third party makes sense or not.

          Voting period was never going to work in this system. And worse, voting third party is explicitly harmful to any chance of progress so fuck that

      Didn’t say it did work. I’m not presenting a solution here, I’m not the messiah.

      For a problem like what the US currently has, IMO they’re kind of past the point where voting alone is going to solve it. They needed to change their voting system before an authoritarian despot took control. Hopefully they’ll remember this when trying to piece some sort of new government back together once he’s gone.
