You’d think midterms would be a great time to get your name out there and run high profile candidates to win House districts led by charlatans…

Third-party candidates don’t have much money. They typically don’t have corporate donors and dark money funneling in, and individual contributions simply aren’t enough.
That is true… of a traditional campaign. But we live in an era where people can get millions of devoted followers by twerking on a webcam. A savvy third party that uses the internet effectively to build followers and then spreads into the greater population through word of mouth could conceivably work. Heck, it’s not all that different from how Trump managed to build his base.
I’m not sure exactly what such a thing would look like for a third party candidate with some kind of scruples, but it shouldn’t be IMPOSSIBLE.
