Nobody said that a third party would win the presidency, so that's a weird question. The answer is no, but you already knew that.
The tea party is a great example of Republicans listening to their base. Democrats should do the same. I don't see anyone telling the far right they HAVE to vote for Republicans even if they run a liberal candidate. Democrats don't own the votes of the Left either.
Voting for progressives down ballot is not a real way to influence the party, and I don't believe you really think it is. Also, like I said, many progressives do that.
It's just another line from the DNC to tell the progressives to shut up. When Dems start treating progressives like Republicans treat MAGA (worship, adoration, and fear) then you can expect that progressives will vote for Dems at the top of the ticket.
So you are knowingly throwing your vote away then. Ok. If your voice matters so little, no need to engage on a forum. Look in the mirror and ask what the point of wasting your moments literally telling everyone you don't value your own vote.
Worthless...
Voting for genocide is much worse.
Pathetic. You can't even see that's exactly what you're doing even after so many examples. We've seen this play out before.
You don't exist in a country with a voting system where abstaining from participating in the 2 party system makes you not culpable for the outcome when 1 party has vocalized their intent for violence.
