    Maybe you can’t speak for what socialists prefer. It’s really odd to say it’s third party voters’ fault your preferred candidate didn’t win rather than your candidates fault they did not attract enough voters.

    If everyone left of the Overton window promise to vote for the Democrats regardless of what policies the Democrats propose, what prevents the Democrats from moving to the right?

      All the other elections every year. The party pays attention to the local and state elections. It matters tremendously. And in the mean time you are improving your local government that effects your everyday life.

      Voting 3rd in the presidential election is a waste if the party hasn’t spent any time building support in existing government structures of power though.

      Does a third party have some special avenue around an obstructionist house and senate that we all haven’t seen so far?
