I think it’s better to phrase these opinions as questions, not accusations. Like: “3rd party revolutionary types: what do you think of these? Do you like them?”.

I'm not sure it would help, because they fundamentally still have a very harmful idea that encourages voter apathy and hurts people.

I just think we should hold conversations with respect and not strawmen.

Now this seems in bad faith and like projections wrapped into one.

What strawmen have i used exactly? Are you denying that people talk about starting third parties or revolutions? Those are extremely common talking points amongst the fringe of the online left.

As for respect, surely you mean civility, because respect should be based on the merit of ideas, not a given.

Those ideas have no merit whatsoever, so they certainly don't deserve respect, and I don't think anything I've said thus far has been uncivil, so I am still left thinking like at the start of this comment that your reply here is in bad faith.
