    Nobody in power gives a crap about a protest vote, If you spend that time protesting elsewhere you’ll make a bigger impact.

      If they didn’t care, they wouldn’t spend millions of dollars to block “protest candidates” from ballots and debates.

      People out of power care. The Working Class should signal its own strength by fronting its own party, not the bourgeois parties.

        Sure, just dilute your power even more.

        Run on a third party ticket when you have the numbers to win an election, until then organize a group, and trade support for concessions.

      If they aren’t trying to get my vote, why would I vote for them? They’re telling me to fuck off!

      A party that’s moderately responsive to its constituents would see their usual voters defecting and try to do something to bring them back. Democrats don’t even clear that low bar.
