A third party will not win in the current system. Voting for them is nice in sentiment, but it amounts to apathy instead of choosing the lesser of the actually available evils (the Democratic Party in the USA).
I would love a multipartisan government, but that only happens if we either send percentages of votes to parties like some nations do, or implement ranked-choice voting.
Until RCV, we need to choose the lesser evil and hope to get it instituted through them (perhaps via the DSA Democrats/Independents or via referendum).
I’m a democratic socialist myself. E.g., Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani, or AOC.
hear me out, 5% of votes for a third party (which almost happened for Ross Perot in the 90s) would guarantee a national platform for that party. also, i don’t care for excuses, you do you.
So, hear me out:
