Are they though? They are just as beholden to the oligarchy as their opponents. From what I've seen it's just words from people like Newsome who is problematic as all fuck, and my home governor Pritzker who is a billionaire himself. Granted I'm happy and privileged to live in a blue state the nonresponse from officials in Minnesota proves they are not in the fray. And the 3rd party ghosts don't have any sway because no one voted for them as representatives! It's like some people are telling the public they are unviable.
There are hundreds of Democratic representatives and yet the only ones that are close to moving are people like Sanders or Cortez in Congress who I doubt would even align with the conservative liberal party if it wasn't an unspoken requirement because of people like you.
If the vote count during the reopening of the government during the shut down didn't show you these are people seeking safe votes for potential reelection I don't know what else to tell ya.
Again, point out to me a single 3rd party candidate that has vocally stood against the bullshit happening to everyone as a result of trump’s administration.
They are nowhere to be seen. Vapor. Absent.
As I said… They only show up to try and get elected every four years, and disappear when they lose. They cannot be trusted to do the right thing when it’s needed they cannot be trusted to even be there when they’re needed.
They’re unelectable. And that is why no one will ever take them seriously.
