And yet you've read 8 (now 9) threads of mine in this argument lol. You wouldnt have replied to me so many times if you dont want to do small amounts of reading. Seems like this is just an excuse not to engage with my actual points.
I wrote like 5 whole threads about it
Nice story, still doesnt address what I asked or all of the issues with splitting the left-of-republican vote
How is it possible to overcome everything I mentioned?
Again, whats the point of trying this route if its not possible to win with it?
Just watched your debate with Hasan. You were 100% wrong in your claim that Harris didn't campaign on the Langford border bill. Here's 2 different ads from her that reference supporting it

Basically nothing, the same thing that happens if you do. Which is my point. If you have reason to believe its possible to overcome all the barriers that 3rd parties face without the electoral reforms, I'm more than willing to hear you out, which is why I asked
Jeffries just refused calls to abolish ICE and reject AIPAC. Schumer last week said he'll ensure Israel gets as much money as they want and supports regime change in Venezuela.
It's so unfair that Dem leaders are out of step with their base when GOP leaders don't have a SINGLE left wing position.
...and then what happens?
Would love to hear your theory on how a 3rd party could ever overcome all the hurdles I mentioned
I imagine that alternative would not get the plurality of the vote in any state next election or any election for the forseeable future, because mathematically we are a minority in the country
So in addition to systemic changes to how the electoral votes are allotted & what happens if nobody gets 270, we'd also first need another right wing 3rd party splitting the republican vote to get anywhere. They just aren't viable and dont have the ability to become viable as it stands (4/4)
Another issue is we don't have any major 3rd parties on either side currently. If a left wing 3rd party rose to prominence, they would mostly split the left/liberal vote while all the conservatives in the country would unified behind one party and have an easier time getting the plurality (3/4)
If a 3rd party candidate did win a state or two, you would run into the issue of no candidate getting a majority (270) of the electoral votes. If that happens, congress then gets to ignore the voters and pick the president. They wouldnt pick the anti-war, anti-capitalist party. (2/4)
Virtually all states are winner-take-all. It doesnt matter how well a minor party candidate does in a specific area or district. If they dont win a plurality of a state, they get nothing. This was the most successful 3rd party run in history. 20% of the vote but 0 electoral votes (1/4)
I'm a fan of your content, but have noticed a significant blindspot you have that's really apparent in your latest video. The US electoral system differs from the UK in ways that make it damn near impossible for 3rd parties to succeed
the worst is when they do this under a music video and its just like "this is [artists'] best song" or "who else is listening in 2026?"
It's one thing to be proud to have come up with a good joke or interesting point that a lot of people like. It's another when its not even an original thought
(Sorry this is mean) people who edit their youtube comments to say "omg thanks for 100 likes!" must have never accomolished anything meaningful in their lives
Must feel so embarassing to be a Republican in 2026. Your party keeps getting btfo in deep red districts, Trump & Vance are booed everywhere they go, and your side's halftime show could only pull Kid Rock for a half assed performance that nobody watched cause normal ppl arent triggered by Bad Bunny
I mean you've basically given up arguing your claim there's no distinction between lying to your audience about a statement of regret not existing and you subjectively, personally not believing said statement was sufficient.
Okay, then kinda funny how you only trust the parts of his platform you don't like and everything else doesn't count as part of his platform somehow even though its on his platform. Happy?
No one's forcing you to continue embarassing yourself by replying with your losing arguments
Just like I said
bsky.app/profile/bala...
Which is... letting Suzanne Collins/Janet Mills win?
Oh so you want to keep sending money for Israel to do a genocide in Gaza then?
You sure are threatening the status quo by spending your time getting in arguments on bluesky over a senate race you're not voting in!! ✊️
Kinda funny how you only trust the parts of his platform that you don't like and everything else is a lie
You mean he called his commanders and other soldiers sadists who have no regard for human life
Graham not running on an "our veterans should be treated like Nazis" platform is why he's probably going to win this Senate seat and you would never even be able to get elected as a local dogcatcher
But the important thing here is saying "he never expressed regret" is blatant misinformation that acts to shut down debate and discussion. "His regret is insufficient" is subjective and enables people who trust you to read it themselves and make up their own minds.
