minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-27 days agoNow do the math showing how a 3rd party can win in the US. :) 1968 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_United_States_presidential_election Electoral College: Republican - 301, Democratic - 191, American Independent - 46. 1980 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_United_States_presidential_election Republican - 489, Democratic - 49, Independent - 0 1992 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_United_States_presidential_election Democratic - 370, Republican - 168, Independent - 0 1996 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_United_States_presidential_election Democratic - 379, Republican - 159, Independent - 0 Those are the four closest. Only one party can beat the Republicans, it’s the Democrats. Similarily, only one party can beat the Democrats, also the Democrats. :)

minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 days agoLocally, I have no problem supporting a 3rd party… though they still haven’t been able to win so much as a school board seat: https://workingfamilies.org/ The problem here though is that we have a closed primary system with Democratic super majority. So if you want to have any say in an election, you have to register as a Democrat. Primary - Choose the best Democratic candidate. General - Watch the Republican get crushed.
