Third party will never ever happen with the electoral college. Whichever party forms a third party and said third party will both lose 100% of the time.

Isn’t it funny that even politics is duopoly in the US?

The electoral college has less of an impact than fptp voting IMO. Ranked choice or Star voting would actually allow third party candidates to win local elections at least.

Not possible with first past the post. Pointless to even talk about.

If we appointed the president by number of individual donations Bernie Sanders would have won in 2016 and 2020 by a landslide

Yeah, don’t be fooled. Repubes will still line up to vote for the naziest candidate they can find.

That just means that we need an independent Nazi candidate to pull votes from the GOP, guaranteeing a loss for both.
