The capitalists can't lose the election since both parties are bought and paid for.
We need strong 3rd parties.
And many more representatives so that they can be more representative of the population.
Third parties are immediately quashed by the machine.
Like them or not, DSA candidates have the right of it; infiltrate the parties and effect changes from within. You cannot simply erase one of the two parties without a vast majority responding to the blatant power grab violently.
Unless you want a full blow violent revolution. In which case do you boo boo, but I would much rather a more peaceful solution for my children to witness.
I, for one, would return to protesting if it were a full blow revolution. 🤷🏼♂️
You for one, would continue doing nothing if a revolution happened.
You don't show on the front lines today, so you will continue to do effectively nothing to support the front lines in the future.
I show up to the ICE OUT protests daily, knowing my face has been recorded, and my identity is in a Palantir database.
If they want to come get me, they better be prepared to lose a minimum of 3 agents and a maximum of 16 before I stop using the training they, the military and boy scouts, gave me against them
The joke went right over your head, I presume? 🙆🏼♂️
Oh look, a badass.

We need to get rid of FPTP. You mathematically can't have third parties in a FPTP system, but that wasn't proven until over 70 years after The Union was formed.
I hadn't thought of that, but that makes sense.
Let's bring back the Bull Moose party!
If by "third-party", you assume the dismantling of the initial two, maybe.
