And winning 23% of voters gets you ZERO seats in the House, Senate and White House and greatly increases the number of Democrat wins. But hey, Let’s Roll!
Making ALL national elections have a runoff between the top 2 candidates (if no candidate received 50%) like Mississippi, or ranked voting like Maine, would make third party candidates viable while preventing them from playing spoiler. “Ranked” voting would give us faster results and reduce massive outside influence like happened in the GA runoff.
Whole lot of temper tantrums of ‘we gotta destroy the right to save it’ around here. Kinda creepy. They have to go back 170 years or so to find the last time a 3rd party went anywhere at all.
It doesn’t even make sense. If you’re going to make a ‘new party’ and just have all the same people in it, nothing changes anyway. Can guarantee that virtually NO dems or even independents would join. At best you’d have 2 right parties for awhile split, or one of them absorbs the other and it was for nothing.
