We can start talking broadly about third parties in the general election when more of them start winning local and state elections. How many progressives are in Congress? State Governors? State Congress? I've checked, it's not a lot. When that number gets much bigger, people will take them more seriously and consider them for higher office. This Jill Stein coming out of the woodwork every 4 years nonsense ain't it.

Yeah that's true. My remark extends to those elections as well, not just the presidential election. If there's an effort by third parties to win any of those elections (edit: beyond business as usual), I definitely haven't heard of it.
