Point B: This is wrong and you’ve obscured the idea.
" we ( potential third party voters ) must vote for them because we ( left voters as a whole ) are voting for them "
It’s not circular logic, they are two different groups.
So as someone who wants the DNC ( and the GOP ) to disappear, here’s what I think are the important questions:
At what point does a third party become viable?
How do you build support for a third party when the spoiler effect is real and everyone knows it?
IMO a good idea would be a threshold system. So anyone can join the party and say, " I will vote if there are X commited voters ". If not, the party stands down. They get to build support without spoiling the vote.
This is all theoretical of course since the US may have just had it’s last election.
Absolutely right on point A.
