Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH)
Jessica Killin (candidate)

Those last three shouldn't win. Don't vote MAGA, vote 3rd party. If any of the rest survive their primary or elections, and the Dems take the majority, they should be shunned, and prohibited from holding any positions of authority on committees or anything else. Their careers are over.
The narrative framing is coordinated now that democrats "allowed" fascism by not controlling their opposition party's secret agent spy democrats??? ...just like how democrats were the party fighting FOR slaves in the civil war because of cross party corrupting co-option turn-coating exactly like this but just the reverse now? Cool cool.
Small correction: The Democratic Socialists are the "DINOs".
These listed are actual party-line Democrats.
26 palms that now have more money than most of those reading this thread
Unfortunately, unless you can get enough people on board that surpasses the number of MAGA, a vote for 3rd party might as well be a vote for MAGA. I don't see how it'd end any different compared to the 1912 Presidential Election. I could be wrong though, maybe Trump has pissed off enough people to make 3rd party viable
I hope ranked choice voting continues to make inroads in the US. Massachusetts and Alaska now have it for many statewide elections, and as more people are exposed to it hopefully the part of the opposition that is rooted in unfamiliarity will recede.
Being able to express a first choice for a third party, and then rank a second choice of the lesser evil of the major parties and have it count has the potential to reshape campaigning and voting behavior.
Yeah, it's the only way we are going to keep the 2 major political parties in the united states in check and we won't be forced to vote blue no matter who
I’ve been hearing that argument for a handful of decades and the Democrats still haven’t changed. When do we say enough is enough and I won’t keep kicking the football Lucy is holding for me?
Just because the argument has been repeated many times that doesn't make it any less true. I do think that Democrats who take advantage of the fact that we have a 2 party system is a problem, but I think we fix that by advocating for ranked choice voting. Otherwise, a third party winning in a major election is a pipe dream. If they truly wanted to build a presence, they should be trying to win more minor elections to build themselves up rather than going for a hail mary for a Senate seat or as the president. Luckily, there are only few Democrats right now that I'd consider to be just Republicans painted blue. In the niche cases where that's true, then maybe consider voting third party
Exactly we've been hearing that for 40 years now at least and every election cycle dems move farther right right behind the republicans.
If you think that's true you're seriously not paying attention at all.
Compare a 1990 dem to now and tell me theyre right of them.
There's plenty to criticize of the dems but let's not be foolish.
