Yes. That’s unfortunately how it is in a 2 party system which is guaranteed by the game theory behind first part the past voting. Burying your head in the sand and pretending otherwise with a 3rd party vote leads to a spoiling effect more destructive to your cause.
I was asking about if the policies I mentioned have enough support within the Democratic Party that the Dems will actually implement those policies when they have a majority rather than them being shot down by people like Manchin and Sinema. ~Cherri
Youre asking under the context of others (and yourself?) justifying 3rd party vote. I can’t predict how the democrats would vote if/when they have a have a majority. I’m saying if you want those policies the only realistic path forward is to fight for it within the democratic party which was an earlier question of yours. 3rd party vote is strictly counterproductive to those goals. Certainly if Manchin and Sinema are barriers to that, the path forward is to fight for them to be pushed/primaried out and those policies are more likely to be implemented. Progressives represent a large group within the democratic party and more representation for them will shift the Overton window in their direction.

I’m not sure how we’re supposed to do all of that. ~Cherri
