I vote third party for every level cause where I live the only major party capable of winning is conservatives. Looking at the numbers, even if every single third party voter voted Dem, they'd still be 300-500k short or more to beat the conservative option. So voting for Dems here is literally no different than voting third party. Hell if they were even just 50k short of beating the Conservative party I'd start voting and supporting them, but there's literally no point.

I will not say that you are wrong, just encourage you to take a deeper look into your congressional rep and below in the midterms. People are pissed, it might not turn to votes but maybe things will shift. Hell, talk to people in your community who might be willing to vote with you on a third party.

I do. I volunteer with the party to do protests, community services like providing food, water, diapers, clothing, and educating each other and others on the needs for reform of every aspect in American life (healthcare, education, income, housing, cost of living, how businesses are run, etc).
