    Primaries? Sure. In the general if you do that you are essentially voting for Trump and/or fascism. Third parties are spoilers 100% of the time until they can actually win. And none of them can right now.

        Yeah no shit. The chance to get that from Republicans is somewhere below -1, close to hell probably.

                You sound like a child throwing a fit because you didn’t get the Christmas present that was on your list to Santa.

                  the christmas present being an electoral system that better represents the people instead of corporations. I will continue to throw a fit.

            Well then join a union and start organizing. That is an even better way to influence politics.
