What do people Invision a 3rd party actually doingSplitting the Republican vote.
No one in that party will get elected, but depending on where he runs candidates, this could split votes in ways that results in dems winning seats that would otherwise have been close but generally safe red seats.

The two-party system is the absolute worst thing about Amerucan politics and should be fought on all fronts.As long as we have FPTP, we're stuck with a two-party system.

It's the same "DO SOMETHING!" style of nonsense.Maybe the Neo Know Nothings will do something you don't know
It's the same "DO SOMETHING!" style of nonsense. That if we just have a 3rd party serious candidates will suddenly spring up from the ether, win elections, and be much better than democrats and republicans.*
*What do you mean we already have more than 2 parties and they are filled with clown shoe dick wagons? Shut up, that's not a thing. 3rd parties will fix everything!

It actually would make a difference.

It would mean the candidates would have run on more than just "I'm a D or an R, so vote for me if you hate the other lot."
Most American voters don't even know the policies of the dude they vote for. Just the party.
I don't see anything worse about the Green party than the Democratic party, and that is fully accounting for Jill Stein being a Russian shill; your guys shill just as much for Israel.One's a real party with politicians and policies, and the other is a Russian funded spoiler party that only shows up once ever 4 years just to syphon votes away from democrats.
Well I did Nazi that coming
It wouldn't.In the UK the Labour party dominated the previous election. Despite being a centre-right party and most voters being very right wing.

This happened because because the right wing party (Conservatives) and far right party (Reform) split the vote all over the country. Allowing Labour and Lib Dems to sweep seats. often by tiny margins.
Multiple parties absolutley make a difference if they have backing.
In the previous election before the last one their nominee Hawkins fully supported Ukraine, the party just shifted back to Stein because Hawkins did even worse in the election than Stein's previous runs. If reasonable people supported these parties they wouldn't have to promote corrupt radicals.Sounds like you're telling us all we need to know about the viability of the Greens, and you're the one endorsing them.
Cool story, bro. Our political system isn't set up at all like the UK.That's kind of my point
That's what Elon is introducing.
How is a foreigner allowed to do this though
Wait, America can have more than 3 parties? I thought it was red or blue or get fucked?What's weird regarding that is our very flag has 3 separate colors on it.
Wait, America can have more than 3 parties? I thought it was red or blue or get fucked?We have lots of parties in the US.
What's weird regarding that is our very flag has 3 separate colors on it.yeah, it's also white or get fucked
Ok, a 3rd party is able to win 5 Senate seats. Now what?
That's kind of my pointPeople's voting behavior tends toward voting for one of the two major parties because in our current system that is the optimal strategy for one to elect someone that most closely aligns with their preferences. It's not because they just really want a two-party system or love either of the two major parties.
You're going "3rd party won't matter because we have a 2 party system."
"....what if you had a 3rd party in that system?"
"Well we have a 2 party system. It's not set up that way"
That's what Elon is introducing. It could result in elected officials, mayors, senators, congressmen being elected who are otherwise would be a different party.
That's huge. If even 6 senators went Democrat or 6 America Party senators got elected who opposed Republican bills, that would change the country.
Look how much nonsense is happening because a Muslim dude might become mayor of New York.
Wait, America can have more than 3 parties? I thought it was red or blue or get fucked?
?Not for long at this rate.
He's a citizen.
