    It can work, but the most important part in making it work is building the movement so that everyone votes for the third party in the same election. There’s no point in just voting third party and complaining that no one else is doing it.

        I don’t think it’s a question of amount of effort. Both undertakings would be monumental. It’s more so a question of what skillsets you have and what you’re more capable of doing.

        In Canada, we had a third party nearly come into power a while back until we lost the leader to cancer.

          In Canada, we had a third party nearly come into power catapult a far-right government into power for nearly a decade a while back until we lost the leader to cancer.

        Are you sure about that? We’ve been trying to unfuck the Democrats for decades, and look what it’s gotten us.

            Yeah, more bombing of children. More Genocide. More torture prisons. More facism. More stealing from the working-class to give to the rich. More deportations.

            Are we winning yet?
