Showing Original Post only (View all)With Stein announcing and Manchin implying... [View all]
looks like someone is revving up the third party option in light of Tuesdays decisive results for Dems in virtually race and issue.
Its throw it against the wall time for republicans who have no policy solution for the gap between them and the American voters.
Remember in 2024, there is no such thing a voting to send a message. In a two party system, you either vote to win or vote to lose. Dont get caught up in this thinking that a vote for Manchin, Stein, Kennedy, or some other wannabe third party person will teach Dems a lesson and somehow magically make things better.
Writing is on the wall
its Biden Trump. If ya aint voting for Biden, youre voting for Trump
no matter where ya choose to put your check mark.

If the Dems control the house, then it won't go to the states one vote one state. That's the step beyond

Never underestimate the ability of some on the Left to stupidly vote for a 3rd party candidate.
