A party that sees itself as the heir to the traditions of Lenin and Trotsky is more willing to defy the Russians than, say, Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance.
Nothing wrong with third parties in general. Nearly any 3rd party running presidential candidates is pretty suspect though. Basically none of them have qualified to be on even half of States ballots, and have already lost because of it. While this is something that we need to change. Running third party presidential candidates will never do that. On the off chance that they did somehow manage to win even a single state. They would immediately have to face the issue of faithless electors. And will have already lost for a second time in a row because of it. Which is also something that needs to be changed. But will not be changed by third party presidential candidates.
I absolutely encourage third parties to run for any local office they can. But when it comes to National and possibly even Statewide election. Third party need to think about solidarity and coalition. Running candidates to primary Democrats as Democrats where they can. That will do more to change things than anything else they can do.
Weird that OP posts almost exclusively about third parties
