Millions of people sat out the election because they couldn't be bothered to vote for a corporate apologist. There's nothing criminal about being stupid, but I think you'll find I'm not. There's absolutely nothing magical about splitting one in a two party system and ending up with three parties, it is in fact the most basic math. Whoever the Republicans run will be Trump, by the way, and I actually think that if it's made clear to the DNC establishment ASAP that the rabble is sick of the normal playbook there wouldn't be any need to take this strategy past the primaries. But go on with your unsupported knee jerk ad hominem. I have faith in democracy, let's wait a bit and see what the people think.

Also don't forget to enfranchise Puerto Rico along with DC.

Absolutely. 2028 is counterintuitively not for "anyone but Trump" but for someone more radical than Bernie to split the votes away from whatever milquetoast garbage candidate the DNC dreams up and give them a wake-up call, possibly even ushering in a multiparty system along the way.

It would solidify my hunches that's for sure.
