    When is the right time for a third party? The system is fixed. The establishment won’t allow an outsider to run. Maybe Nader did screw Gore. But he at least tried to shake the system, like Perot and Bernie. People that think that voting Dem is going to create the space for progressive policies are delusional. They’re never going to give us what we want/deserve. Minimum wage— that’s the military’s recruitment tool. Healthcare—- insurance lobby is entrenched in DC. Student debt—- forgiveness would spiral the economy. Sure, they’ll tell you what you want to hear, but look at their actions. Half measures and encouragement to vote harder. We have to work outside the system. Organize.

      They’re a hell of a lot more likely to than Republicans, who want to give us what they think we deserve.
