The only way to win is not to campaign at all. Wait, no, that's not how that works actually. https://twitter.com/edokeefe/status/1017370526489169923

reignonyourparade posted:The people bitching about loving GARY JOHNSON voters always gets me because jesus christ if those people weren't voting for a third party they'd be voting straight ticket republican. there was literally a bernie/johnson voter in this very thread. johnson "took" (in the sense that they are more dem-leaning voters) more clinton votes than trump votes - you can look at the polling, clinton consistently did worse when johnson was included. tbh they probably wouldn't have voted for clinton even if there were no 3rd parties to vote for though

What is it with states in the northeast that have side parties that always just nominate the Democratic candidate? Is there a reason for the working families party to exist since they don't seem to be a real third party?

I hope they lose that ballot line, whatever else happens. Thoguh posted:What is it with states in the northeast that have side parties that always just nominate the Democratic candidate?

Essentially entryism for people with big egos. It's complete bullshit, DSA has repeatedly shown you don't need that to get a more left-leaning person elected.

Conservative Party, Liberal Party, Independence Party, Working Families. A lot of them used to actually run their own candidates, most just endorse either the GOP or dems now.

the vermont progressive party is pretty cool, basically a party that identifies with bernie and actually runs their own candidates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermont_Progressive_Party quote:Economically, the party also calls for converting the minimum wage to a living wage, having the economy focus on small and local businesses, empowerment of worker cooperatives and publicly owned companies as democratic alternatives to multi-national corporations and to decentralize the economy, for the strengthening of state law to protect the right to unionize, for implementing a progressive income tax and repealing the Capital Gains Tax Exemption and residential education property tax and all trade to be subject to international standards on human rights. The party is also critical of privatization.[6]

The PA GOP has responded to DSA backed candidates by....campaigning for them? http://www.witf.org/state-house-sound-bites/2018/07/state-gop-says-its-compiling-lists-of-democrats-who-support-dem-socialists.php quote:(Harrisburg) -- The state Republican Party is launching a new strategy for this fall's congressional elections: making and distributing lists of which Democrats support socialized programs, among other things.

Yeah, I like the idea of the fusion system you guys have. Sometimes poo poo happens, is all. (One of our Democratic senators is being primaried by a literal Republican lol. Though I'm hopeful he won't gain much traction.)

From the NYT story it's a bit more complicated. Crowley can't actually vacate the WFP line. They usually deal with this by nominating the candidate who wants to vacate for another race that they're sure to lose, like city councilor in Republicanville. And Crowley is refusing to let them do that.
