Part of the reason it seems so improbable is because people keep saying it is.
It’s improbable is because no grassroots movement has been able to fund enough advertisements to run a successful 3rd party run. It’s a 2 party system because of money; straight up. Money has to be used to reach votes in hard to reach places across all 50+ states that have varying tax laws. Not impossible, but over the 250+ years of elections (or whatever) it hasn’t been done.
It’s improbable because voting 3rd party also hopes that other folx agree with the 3rd party and will also vote. Voting 3rd party is throwing away your vote in a system that has been binary thus far. If the choices are voting for a literal Nazi or voting for a Corporate Puppet, and your and your friends vote 3rd party, that historically gives a better chance to either of the other 2 candidates winning, with the Nazi candidate benefiting the most.
There’s a lot of people in America; it’s a large piechart.
Hmm maybe a general strike would help then. I was going to say we should stop associating and giving our money to greedy capitalists, but thats a general strike so let’s so that.
We’ll need to convince the folx to stop subscribing to Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, etc. and stop ordering their groceries from Walmart and Target. It’s quite a push.
