How does not voting stop the spiral towards the right?
You've assumed that because someone isn't going to vote for the Democratic party or the Republican party that they aren't going to vote at all.
By either having representation from a third party which opens up the floodgates for future elections, or by forcing the Democrats to actually put a progressive candidate and adopt progressive policy under threat of never winning the elections again.
How about you ask the people who voted for Joe Biden in the primaries if they're ever going to support anyone under the age of 70.
