In reply to the discussion: Ten points of agreement, and why we should seek down-ballot support from Greens and Libertarians [View all]Demsrule86
(68,504 posts)Why do you want to defend third party spoilers...no we won't support Greens or Libertarians period for any reason. This site supports the Democratic nominee, and we should not support third party spoilers or tolerate them for 'down ballot reasons'. The presidential vote is the most important vote as the courts hinge on it...I think we have a good chance of taking the Senate and maybe some chance with the house but that depends on getting 100% all hands on deck and defeating Trump massively...we don't need 95% voters ...you know the ones who are supporting down ballot but not the presidential pick...the best way to get the Senate is to beat Trump soundly and tolerating third party spoilers won't help in that effort... in fact it might hurt our effort.
