I'll stick with calling them naive.
Are they building a coalition toward ranked choice?
They are naive at best… BUT malicious in appearance.

Until there's a third party that can get more than 1 to 3% of the vote, they are all "Independent Parties".
Most folks just don't understand the scale involved.
Party registration:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_party_strength_in_U.S._states
Democratic - 48,019,985
Republican - 35,732,180
Independent - 34,699,567
After that, literally every other party is an "also ran". The largest of the independent parties is less than 1.5% the size of the Democrats. 1.490%. The Greens are 1/3rd of THAT size.
This isn't even a comprehensive list, "No Labels" is absent, likely due to their complete inability to function.

call them whatever you want but they are only viable in Maine, Hawaii and Alaska. i wish more third party candidates would run in disguise as Democrats or Republicans and push for Rank Choice Voting vs running third party. But I understand their value as to platform ideas and influence the two main parties, but that is so slow.
I mean we have Tactical Voting in the primaries why can't we have tactical running. Hell the Republicans do it all the time look at Tulsi and those two parties that are the opposite. Where is the Greens (Jill excluded) I would call that a coalition under a different name. sometimes you have to do it out in the open sometimes you got to do it 5th column style.
**i wish more third party candidates would run in disguise as Democrats or Republicans and push for Rank Choice Voting vs running third party. **
As do I. It would lead to actual change. And not just empty posturing.
Would it really be in disguise? What policy does the Green party have that isn't in the scope of the Democratic Party?
One being election reform that is just not lip service, two putting the environment above the economy. but honestly i don't care which third party get in as long as they dismantle the first past the post voting and we get a system can be compatible with real coalition. Sometimes you vote for the people you don't like to get the opportunity to vote for the ones you do.
