    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.

      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.
