In an attempt to be diplomatic to these people…

My answer is voting 3rd party never works, and it’s always propped up and supported by the polar opposite of what you want. If you are voting for anyone but Biden now you are given thumbs up to Trump stealing the election, and I don’t care how you try to justify it. It’s like rooting for a team in the Super Bowl that isn’t playing and didn’t make it to the playoffs.

Convince people to support your party years, not weeks before the election.
Shoot for local elections and congress first, not a stunt hail-mary for president. That’s like trying to get hired as CEO of a Fortune 500 corporation 5 minutes after you leave college with an MBA.

There’s always going to be only 2 because that’s how it happens. We don’t have a Parliamentary system. Coalition building between related but differing political views is done outside of government, not in it.

Try to make your party one of those 2 *WAY* before you try to purity pony your way into losing an election and turning the US into Gilead or the Großere Amerikanische Reich. Because Biden wants ACA with Public Option instead of M4ARFN!!!!11ty

Too many progressives have a top down strategy—-aiming for the top rung of power so they wring change from the top.

That’s antithetical to their own political philosophy, which emphasizes that power resides in the grassroots, from the people up.

Ass backwards for the change they want; they’re using authoritarian tactics to implement a grassroots philosophy??? Yeah…no.
