Darby Lines @Angry_Drunk:
Given that U.S. electoral system will never let a 3rd party candidate win, voting 3rd party is just a way to feel superior to everyone else.

@Angry_Drunk Agreed, with major exception: when one of the Big Two declines, a 3rd party becomes a 2nd party. True since 1820s.

Darby Lines @Angry_Drunk:
@jeffporten True, but I think that already happened, it’s just that the Tea Party took the GOP’s name too.

@Angry_Drunk Tea Party likely a short flash in the pan. Unless you have Grangers and Populists in your neighborhood.

@Angry_Drunk I’d expect Democrats to become new center-right, and hoping for a new Liberal party to spring up. Yes, I tilt at windmills.

Darby Lines @Angry_Drunk:
@jeffporten You and me both.
