    Wrong, you create a viable third choice through effective, bold, and charismatic leadership and an incredibly strong marketing campaign. Our third parties seem happy to pull the outliers and disillusioned voting population, but you won’t win an election with that.

    The only way we’re getting an actual third choice is by making something that’s equal to or bigger in presence to our primary parties in terms of media representation and spectacle. None of the ones that exist today are pulling that off any time soon.

      What was Trump’s campaign again? The entire population is disillusioned. They’re just also brainwashed into blaming the other party in a fake partisan system instead of the oppressive system itself.
