That would take a monumental amount of effort. Much more than it would take to un-fuck one of the existing parties.

I don't think it's a question of amount of effort. Both undertakings would be monumental. It's more so a question of what skillsets you have and what you're more capable of doing.

In Canada, we had a third party nearly come into power a while back until we lost the leader to cancer.

In Canada, we had a third party ~~nearly come into power~~ catapult a far-right government into power for nearly a decade a while back until we lost the leader to cancer.

Oh, FFS. You aren't happy with being wrong about politics in just one country, are you?

Are you sure about that? We've been trying to unfuck the Democrats for decades, and look what it's gotten us.

It's gotten more than voting third party has.

Yeah, more bombing of children. More Genocide. More torture prisons. More facism. More stealing from the working-class to give to the rich. More deportations.

Are we winning yet?
