You keep pretending third party voters are non-voters, which is definitionally false.

The Dems follow the money, which comes from their donors. This drives policy.

For electoralism, they gesture to their voterbase, but this doesn't impact their real policy.

No, it makes no difference at all. Trump will win or Harris will win. If Trump wins, the democrats will move right to try to win again.
