Comment on Should this be the year we finally try voting for other candidates?

In England we had a three-party system for many a year. Then the third party (Liberal Democrats) showed their true colours. Then we had two. Now a new third party, Reform, is rising up on a platform of racism. They’re splitting the racist vote. That allowed a fourth party, the Greens, a noteworthy victory in a local by-election.
I don’t know how it works over there, but what I take away from this is that it wouldn’t have been possible without people who were willing to vote for not a third party, but a fourth party.

having multiple parties prevent anyone to becoming too dominant over a long period of time. which is why putin was pushing the reform to be the dominant one. the “2 party system in the us” is really just one party, or a uniparty of the right wing. thats what AIPACdems are so afraid of, they wont be able grift of wha tthe GOP as opened the door for.
