        I agree the Democrats are useless, but the only time in modern history a third party has gotten any measurable percentage of the popular vote is when Ross Perot ran as an independent and got 19%.

          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.
