👍 In the current US election system, a left-leaning third party only helps Republicans win (and is likely to be funded by Republicans), and a right-leaning #ThirdParty only helps Democrats win (and is likely to be funded by Democrats). It's the spoiler effect in First Past The Post (#FPTP), explained well by #GCPGrey in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7tWHJfhiyo
If you want more real political parties, elect Democrats and pressure them to pass #RankedChoice voting for all elections
