This has been the status quo for generations already, how long does it have to continue before we cut our losses and make a risky gambit? I just don’t understand what you think the DNC is protecting us from, because in my view they are also part of the problem.
Teddy Roosevelt got 27% in 1912 with the Bull Moose party. Not sure if that counts as modern history.
It’s true that a third party candidate would be a major long shot but fuck it, what do we have to lose?
What do we stand to lose? Try fucking everything, when the republicans easily win against a fractured DNC and America slips even further into fascism.
