Even Ross Perot, who had 18% of the vote- far better than any third party candidate since- didn’t change things. He didn’t, Nader didn’t, Jill Stein didn’t, none of the others did either.

minus-squarechaogomu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·2 hours agoNader and Stein certainly changed things. They made them worse. Ross Perot also changed things, but arguably for the better. All by fucking with the election and getting the person on the opposite side of the aisle elected.
