Hilariously bad strategy. Most americans dont even know there are third party options. Congrats on giving her free publicity?

    Not saying that bourgeois democracies are working so much better in the rest of the world, but if a candidate is so concerned about losing votes to a third candidate who couldn't win on their own, they just act like they give a shit about what the smaller candidate wants and gets endorsed/forms a coalition with the smaller one.

    But no, let's keep appealing to the people who think you're not being cruel enough and who hate you for not being trump, I'm sure that's a better strategy.

      Exactly. You can't have it both ways. If it's so clear that even forming a coalition with a third party and maybe conceding a few points to them would loose you this invaluable mass of voters than what the hell do you want those fringe Leftys for anyway?

      Like they're more or less trying to form a coalition with centrists because they, presumably, think it's a great voting block. And yet it's leftists who aren't doing good politics.

      Make your bed and fucking lie in it.
