“no more voting for the RINO if he/she wins the primary”

At that point aren’t we just better off starting a 3rd party? You’re going to get RINOs winning a lot of primaries and losing the general election anyway if voters followed this advice. So the downside of a third party (that we’d lose a lot of elections for a while) would be irrelevant.

Conservatives are upset with the establishment GOP. We now know that the progressives are unhappy with the DEM establishment.

If a conservative populist third party is started, then I think that would embolden the progressives to start their own party or beef of the Green Party as an alternative to the DEM establishment.

I think it is worth a chance to start up a third party in hopes that it would soon be followed by a fourth and thus it would not necessarily lead to DEM victories across the board.

I agree with both of you. I will never vote for another RINO. MAGA or bust.
