Immigrants might be in camps, but at least you Democrat voters have your sense of moral superiority!

Now do the math showing how a 3rd party can win in the US. :)
1968 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_United_States_presidential_election
Electoral College:
Republican - 301, Democratic - 191, American Independent - 46.
1980 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_United_States_presidential_election
Republican - 489, Democratic - 49, Independent - 0
1992 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_United_States_presidential_election
Democratic - 370, Republican - 168, Independent - 0
1996 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_United_States_presidential_election
Democratic - 379, Republican - 159, Independent - 0
Those are the four closest.
Only one party can beat the Republicans, it's the Democrats.
Similarily, only one party can beat the Democrats, also the Democrats. :)
It's like you haven't even considered manifesting
Locally, I have no problem supporting a 3rd party... though they still haven't been able to win so much as a school board seat:

The problem here though is that we have a closed primary system with Democratic super majority. So if you want to have any say in an election, you have to register as a Democrat.
Primary - Choose the best Democratic candidate.
General - Watch the Republican get crushed.
