For Harris supporters who oppose 3rd parties: 2 questions.

(1) How will you get the US to stop funding Israeli genocide?;

and,

(2), what are the chances of your proposal(s) succeeding before, say, 2075?

    I don’t think I’ve ever met a person like you’re speaking of, who is going to vote for a Democratic candidate but opposes third parties. They never oppose the existence of third parties and they often support third party candidates.

    They just don’t vote for third party candidates in US presidential elections because that vote doesn’t do anything productive.

    I’m all ears on what a third-party candidate who gets less than 5% of the popular vote will be able to do to stop the genocide by 2075.

        And how does a 5% gain per election happen? When in USA history has there been comparable rate increase and how did that party accomplish it?

          What great progress has occurred in the US without activism regardless of who occupies the White House?

          The closest I could come up with, at least for now, is the wp:1856 United States presidential election, where that loser, John Frémont, from the newly formed Republican party, presumably split the Whig vote and ushered in the victory of that impotent cuck, the Democrat James Buchanan.
