Absolutely. 2028 is counterintuitively not for “anyone but Trump” but for someone more radical than Bernie to split the votes away from whatever milquetoast garbage candidate the DNC dreams up and give them a wake-up call, possibly even ushering in a multiparty system along the way.
So there’s one problem with your position: The current strategy is throwing elections to whoever the Republicans happen to be running. The DNC fossils won’t learn their lesson by 2028 and it’ll be another repeat of 2024 and 2016 until democracy in America finally dies.
Millions of people sat out the election because they couldn’t be bothered to vote for a corporate apologist. There’s nothing criminal about being stupid, but I think you’ll find I’m not. There’s absolutely nothing magical about splitting one in a two party system and ending up with three parties, it is in fact the most basic math. Whoever the Republicans run will be Trump, by the way, and I actually think that if it’s made clear to the DNC establishment ASAP that the rabble is sick of the normal playbook there wouldn’t be any need to take this strategy past the primaries. But go on with your unsupported knee jerk ad hominem. I have faith in democracy, let’s wait a bit and see what the people think.

Wow. So, throw the election to whoever the Republicans run, and you think that somehow, magically, we’ll have a multiparty system as a result??
How about learn how the system actually works. Your advice is criminally stupid.

And again, y’all are gonna solve this with (checks notes) … wishful thinking? Wow. So glad you came up with that one! Surely that’ll work!!
Well, y’all just failed to solve it by not listening and moving to the right. How many more election cycles are y’all gonna do that?

There’s the “not listening” I mentioned.
Democrats don’t need to field a candidate if they’re so worried about splitting the vote.
They have made it clear that they only see fascism as an opportunity to move right anyway.

First past the post means third party candidates are never going to be viable. Pretending otherwise is burying your head in the sand.
But hey, you win, cause I’m magically never responding to anything you post ever again. Or something. Weirdo
Millions of people sat out the election because they are okay with fascism.
Millions sat out because they didn’t see an appreciable distinction. At least the party got to move right.
