          We need a national movement to take the primaries out of the hands of the parties and run them like regular elections. Even better would be rank choice voting so we are no longer stuck with the two choices the wealthy give us.

              Tried and failed, over and over and over and over again, but sure, I’m sure it will end differently this time.

              If we could get enough voter cooperation to replace one of the major parties, any strategy would work. If we can’t then going third party is the worst possibile strategy.

                  Oh, definitely. I’m not critiquing “optimism”, just a particular strategy. There is no advantage that exists in a third party strategy that doesn’t exist in a intra-party strategy, but there are a lot of disadvantages. Until we get rid of first-past-the-post elections, third parties can’t overcome the spoiler effect.
