I'm very far from us politics and Claudia may possibly be a lib (i don't actually know).
So I'm wondering why I haven't seen more of this on hexbear. There's been a lot of dunking on the one-but-two parties, but not much discussion on third parties? I could also be wrong here, I only see things that make their way through Lemmy to lemmygrad
The two party system is so dominant in the US that a tie is more likely than a third party winning any state - it hasn't happened since 1968. Personally, Id be thrilled to see a PSL or Green win, but it's not even really worth the effort of voting.
That's only true on the national level though, local elections can have a pretty big impact on your life and third parties perform better.
