Name a single PSL or Green candidate that is running for an office besides the presidency. Oh what's that? You can't without looking it up? Gee, doesn't sound like you're at all in tune with local politics which is the only place a third party could grow from. It sounds like you just want to whine without offering any real solutions.

Third parties can't grow from local politics, lmao. The second they posed a threat the DNC and GOP collaborate against them.

Brother, if you can't even get a sizable chunk of people to join you now you sure as fuck aren't coming out of an armed revolution on top. There's no shortcut to going where you want to go. You gotta put in the work to convince people at the ground level.

I agree, local politics isn't the way to do that. Join an org like PSL or FRSO.
