So… if you want change, vote for a party that has never won anything at the federal level ever?
Elections in the US are fucked… but voting for a third party that doesn’t change that. They don’t have a chance in hell at winning the Presidency, much less a seat in congress. At most it’s a protest vote, which doesn’t mean much when Trump is in office.
State and local elections, I think, are the best place to support alternative parties. That’s where officials both have a chance to get elected… and to actually make a difference and build a support network that can make them a force at the federal level.
