Says “Stormbringer”? Sir, this is not a Nazi bar.
About Us:
“We are the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), the British section of the Revolutionary Communist International. If you want to see an end to capitalism, then get organised with the RCP and fight for a communist future!”
Yeah, this is not a news org.
TheGrayZone is a nutter conspiracy site.
Internal US News isn’t for World. See !news@lemmy.world

“Voter registration records show that Robinson is currently registered to vote unaffiliated with any party, although he never cast a ballot, the Washington County clerk said in a statement.”

Taking over a major party by challenging center candidates in primaries and winning in the general elections.
See the Tea Party / Red Hat takeover of the Republican party.
Progressives need to do the same to the Democrats.
You let the Green party go. They can’t get 1% of the vote, haven’t won an election in any state, it’s past time to give up the illusion that they are a real party.
If a third party can’t win an election in nearly 30 years, it’s not really an alternative to anything. Time to let it go.
Day old user? Trolling? Banned.
So how many election cycles do we give them? Serious question.
Look at the Green Party as a prime example:
1996 - 0.71%
2000 - 2.74%
2004 - 0.10%
2008 - 0.12%
2012 - 0.36%
2016 - 1.07%
2020 - 0.26%
2024 - 0.56%29 years, 8 general elections, 0 electoral college votes. Zero.
To put that in perspective, more electoral college votes have been awarded by ACCIDENT (2004), than have been won total by the Green party in 29 years.
More electoral college votes have been awarded by faithless electors (2016) than have been won by the Green party.
Their best run was with Nader in 2000 and even that did not move the needle.
Primaries are where you fall in love, the General election is where you fall in line unless you want the opposition to win.
The folks I banned here weren’t honestly advocating third party, they were conservatives attempting to split the Democratic vote.
Once the mask came off they were banned. I probably gave them more rope than I should have.
