And your attack on third party candidates is off the mark if you ONLY attack them on the left and disregard their similar, far greater impacts to the GOP from the right. All you are doing here is engaging in negative partisanship, Thom. The Libertarian and Constitution candidates received about three times as many votes as did Stein in 2016 in each of those same states.
Our/Your beef is with the Dem leadership that rigged the nomination process and Sec. Clinton who ran an appalling campaign such that the always present ping-pong "independents" could not find a reason to vote for her but heard all sorts of reasons to vote for t-RUMP.
Does anybody understand why Warren and Bernie did not get together last time? Wasn't that the obvious question at the point when everyone else was forced to throw in the towel and support Joe? There was that dumb little audio clip they played on TV trying to show controversy but if the basic reality is that those are the two progressives and together they had what could be a controlling chunk, why wouldnt they get together and support one another?
Did anyone else notice how most of the 2020 Dem primary candidates specifically represented identity groups likely to support progressives like Bernie? And notice that none of those candidates endorsed Bernie when they quit on cue? Dem leadership strikes again by shooting Americans in the neck. While the GOP is FAR worse, don't let the Dems get away with manslaughter while the GOP is busy murdering democracy. The corruption that has always been part of the American political landscape is not limited to the GOP.
Nevertheless, thank you Earl Dunkel and CEO Charles E. Wilson of GE for the raging, indoctrinated puppet that was Ronald Reagan. Nearly every major crisis we are experiencing had its more recent roots in that administration's agencies, from the FCC, the FTC, the SEC, the FEC, the FAA, etc., etc.
They put govt. teeth into the Powell Memo, its third front toward fascism.
Yes, the GOP must be defeated next year. But we need a Democratic Party majority that does not in any significant way mimic, somewhat more softly, the basic techniques of the GOP.
The presidential election can be thought of as a separate calculation and I think should. At state and local level, the working families party has been making progress in ny - active and doing good work for primaries to offer better choices, but leery of challenging dems in the last general elections and decided not to do that if that could split the vote.
I agree with your critique of Hillary. However in our current culture, Third party candidates have only played spoiler for the Fascists. It is not about party, I leave that to the Lemmings, it is about freedom and democracy, which the right in the form of the Republican party, has and is threatening ever since Reagan.
So much for your self coined scare phrase (negative partisanship)
Anything to keep the fascist right out of power. And FYI all partisanship is negative, it is being against someone and the ideology they represent, unfortunately.
Only one "L" in Cornel.

I don't know why, but since Warren was my first choice and Sanders was almost my last, I could come up with some theories. ;-)
