That would hurt you more than it would the GOPe.
I'm sure it would hurt MAGA too, but no it would hurt the GOPe more.
You're never going to be able to reform the GOP if you keep holding your nose, and voting for the same assholes every election, just to keep the seat Republican.
If the entire system is rigged to make us lose, it does not matter any more.
“That would hurt you more than it would the GOPe.”
The GOP has done everything they can to scuttle themselves for the 2024. They have been denying their best, and I feel only chance, of getting a proven person to run. DeSantis can’t win in my mind as his achievements have been based upon education environment, and health, which are DNC strong points, and Trump has already proven the type of values we need to make this country prosper in the position with controlling moves against foreign groups wishing harm to the US citizens and border control. His own party doesn’t want him so they try to trash him and join the competition doing it.
They talk about Perot. Perot, in 1992, got 19% of the vote when the elected Clinton got 43% of the vote. Clinton was the first Democrat since 1964 to win a majority of states and was the second-lowest for any winning candidate in the 20th century after Woodrow Wilson in 1912 . Bush got 37% of the vote that was the smallest receipt of votes for a sitting president to be re-elected since Howard Taft in 1912. There is a real reason why Perot was important to the election, it killed Bush. The same will happen to the GOP in 2024.

At this point, what difference does it make? Pain is coming either way.
Agree.
51% Harris (or other Dem) winning in 2024 due to
a split among the two conservative style parties and a few Libertarians would be the end of America.
We are not Israel or France with splinter parties each making under the table deals to support a temporary ruling administrator “forming a government.” Israel has had Arabs aligning with observant Orthodox Jews to agree to a deal with a larger group to form a shared government. A shameful situation we should shun.
