minus-square@Knock_Knock_Lemmy_Inlink-5•5 months agoWe can just as easily define the popular vote as being the sum of all non Trump votes. No Trump doesn’t need to be Yes Biden.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink11•edit-25 months agoIt doesn’t matter how you define it. It matters how the people that report on it define it. And almost universally, that’s horse race numbers. Third parties are pretty much invisible for 95% of people until they start breaking into the horse race. Nobody have a fuck about Ralph Nader or Pat Buchanan till they mattered for the result of the actual election in 2000. But only after the fact.

Third parties are pretty much invisible for 95% of people until they start breaking into the horse race. Only if you focus on winning. Bernie didn’t run in the primaries to win. He ran to influence.
