    Let’s give DNC 60 seats and see what happens.

    Absolutely not. Any vote for the Democrats is a vote for corruption. Voting for another party is our only choice. I’m voting Green.

      I welcome you and your option to vote green, I hope that it’s a viable choice in the upcoming election or at least that your representative gets enough votes and signatures to keep the party on the ballot next election cycle. I agree that the DNC is far too moderate as a whole to fully align with my goals. I’m sure my representatives will love caucusing and working alongside them. However, my expectations for a third party before any campaign finance laws or election reforms pass are very low, and if your district is highly contested between DNC and GOP and you decide to piss your vote away on a candidate with 6% chance, then you’re just committing self harm in my eyes.

        Third party voters know that the strategy is to force the duopoly to change in order to gain back our votes to win. That’s always been the strategy, the electoral system is in place to prevent another party from winning.
