If your goal is to have a third option to vote for, the best way to help is to support independent candidates on the right as well. If the fascist vote is split (say between Trump and Liz Cheney) then a vote for (Cornell West for example) is less likely to be a vote for fascism.

Third party candidates will never be the answer. They exist only to dilute resistance. The answer is to raise awareness and outrage until it can't be ignored.

While I agree third party candidates are not really the solution, what exactly is rage and outrage that can't be ignored gonna do? How is that gonna change things? Do you think the lawmakers and people in power and gonna just gonna fix the system that put them in power just cause some people got mad? More importantly changing all that would take time, way more time than we have before the next election, so what do you recommend we are suppose to do right now?

Please be a bit more specific than "get mad", cause trust me, a lot of people have been mad for a long time, just getting mad doesn't fix anything

We were on the verge of forcing real change before the neolibs convinced the middle class that they won by electing Biden. The people in the streets fighting cops is always the beginning of change. Spreading information, and not accepting the premise that Biden is the solution is how we get people back in the streets.
