@georgetakei So instead of firmly founding a third, middle d#DemocraticSocialism party, just increase the accelerating destabilization of the overextended #duopoly
No thanks.

the #USA is an #FPTP #voting system
meaning there can only be 2 parties
it's not corruption, it's just math (not saying corruption doesn't exist, but even if all corruption magically disappeared, we'd still have only 2 parties)
a 3rd party on the left would divide the left vote and #MAGA would win
i want 3rd parties
to get that we need #rankedChoiceVoting
to get ranked choice voting, we have to elect #Democrats who support it

I鈥檝e written a lot about this in other posts, so I鈥檓 not going to repeat it all here, but Duverger's Law is absolute nonsense. Anyone with a basic understanding of game theory can see that it describes an unstable equilibrium state. Anyone who has paid attention to political history of the last century can point to a large number of examples of this equilibrium collapsing. It was pretty indefensible as an idea when Duverger published it, it鈥檚 been repeatedly shown to be false since then.
