What do you mean "at the time there was the belief"? It is a legitimate thing that if they reached a certain threshold they'd get campaign funds from the government. And still exists now too
Yeah silly him for thinking it was possible to try to break out of our terrible two-party electoral system, didn't he realize that as long as an opposition party exists everyone is morally obligated to vote (D)?
I can at least see the argument when people talk about this today, but projecting that back to the 2000s is just insane.
This sub worships the Democratic party like gospel. Anyone who says anything bad about it will be scorned. And don't even think about voting third party!!
