When you don’t support local third party candidates but only vote third party for the presidential position? Yeah they can fuck right off. Go all in or stop bitching.
Or more importantly do the specific opposite of that. Vote 3rd parties, fight in the primaries in the local, state, and important levels everywhere you can.
Don’t throw your vote away on candidate of which your vote is literally less than one millionth of the way they need to get.
Local parties are generally more in tune with the community. If you live in an area where a progressive party candidate would be viable, the Democrat candidates are probably progressive (or at least claim to be, Shitbag I mean John Fetterman).
While this is true, no third party president will succeed without a base of support in their local levels. If progressive democrats keep getting screwed by the overall party, it might be time to form a local third party that can work with moderate dems for bills but maintain a separate structure so moderate democrats cannot take progressive votes for granted.
I would say that there’s a lot of work to do in general. Protest voting is like any protest. It’s disruption to draw attention to a problem. It doesn’t solve problems, it isn’t even an attempt to solve a problem. Protest is the last step before violence, and most people aren’t willing to go any further.
The fact that people are willing to protest vote is everybody’s problem. You can’t say the protesters are wrong, or their methods are wrong, or that they don’t have valid concerns.

No third party president will ever succeed at all under the current system.
So you could say there is some work to do before protest voting for the presidency?

You’re shadowboxing with strawmen.
I don’t see any third party state level political groups so clearly not.
