I have to disagree here. What will push the democrats to any change if everybody votes for them? The Establishment Democrats of today are policy- and philosophy-wise identical to the Republicans of the 90's, both parties moved more and more to the right. Now with Trump slumping deeply is exactly the right time to vote 3rd party unless you want to risk the party getting split in half and ensure Republicans win every election after this one because the democratic vote is split between 2 parties? Biden is leading so far and Trump can't muster any counters, so much so that Republicans start jumping ship. Unless there's several major changes in Trumps favor he's done for. |
That must be pretty easy to say from the comfort of Luxembourg where you don't actually have to live under this guy. Right now, among many other things, I'm looking at the fact that we have the worst covid outbreak on Earth primarily because of this president and my state is starting to close back down again as a result. My point is that there are real life and death stakes to this election that seem a lot more important than posturing.
There are two candidates in this race who have a chance of becoming president and we know who they are. Everything else is an exercise in vanity and pretentiousness to the point that the major parties actually fund the campaigns of the smaller ones just to siphon off votes their serious rivals would otherwise get. The Green Party candidates are financially supported by the Republican Party and the Libertarian candidates are financially supported by the Democratic Party. That's how obvious it is that third parties in this country are a joke. Please, and I say this to you and to everybody, don't be dumb enough to make yourself the butt of that joke.
