Now, the Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign is nodding to her summer job to highlight her upbringing and a platform to boost American workers that stands in stark contrast to her Republican rival Donald Trump, who “has no plan to help the middle class — just more tax cuts for billionaires,” according to a recent ad.

    if enough people put in enough vote to a third party then it would become a viable party

    The ONLY way that’s going to happen is if the 3rd parties get their shit together and run a candidate and platform that isn’t insane; and if we completely eliminate the spoiler effect, which will require a complete switch to ranked choice voting or some other system that addresses it.

    As of today, we have a duopoly, and the choices within that duopoly are fascism or not fascism. If fascism wins, 3rds are fucked right along with everyone else, so if you support 3rds then your best option is to vote Harris as a means of preserving a flawed but malleable system that can eventually be made compatible with your goals. Voting for anyone else, or not voting at all, just tips the scales that much closer to fascism.

    I’m rooting for you. Viable 3rd parties would be a great addition to our system, but that’s going to take systemic changes beyond the scope of one election or party. You’ve got a LOT of work to do, but keep your eyes on the prize and don’t let your work space burn to the ground.
