Just keep smashing yourself into the bricks to “deny the wall legitimacy” or whatever. I’m sure it will work this time.

So you don’t agree that starting from the ground up won’t work? Why not? Too much effort or takes too much time?

If you are talking about viable third party candidate, then my position is: current political stage has no room for one hence why i shill more a narrower scope goal of “deny the two-party regime legitimacy”

Something that people can get behind, act upon individually and directly while avoiding getting sucked into political left/right circle jerk.

Bigger picture would obviously involve a proper 3 third party candidates to upset the duopoly. Either by winning outright or forcing the two parties to provide concessions to the voters instead of current “get fucked peasants, I am serving my corpo daddies”

These 3p candidates need for voting public set the stage for them by making third vote a viable path for a politician/movement.

My original thesis enables this while not getting into the political weeds but it does not stop others from building on it. If people got their 3p, then they should shill it! Even if every person votes for their own guy but sufficient amount of people do it, then it would still lead to awkward situation why are there 9% of voters who did not chose “regime”
