we might not have had 2016 Prez trump if not for third partyiest Jill Stein.
and we definitely would not have had terrible bush2 as president if not for third party lefty guy nader.
there are just enough hard core leftists in this country to hand the election to the hard core rightists. and yet the indie leftists continue to run, even knowing they are serving the right.
the scary scenario is that in the key blue cities of WI and MN, Cornel West and the others pull off just enough blue votes to give the fascists those states and therefore America. American lefties are that bad at politics.
