I'm not advocating for a particular party, I'm telling you both branches of the monoparty work for the same corporate interests. Last presidential election, there was a candidate running under Workers' Party, with a solid platform, and it's quite interesting the liberal branch of the corporate party sued and won to keep her off the ballot, but only in swing states. The candidates D or R torpedo could be evaluated. A platform is great, but a platform with a workable plan to implement it is better.

Well, yeah. Why would the democrats want a competing party to split the vote in a swing state? If you’re under some impression that the democratic party should be boosting smaller political parties to somehow allow them to win offices and thereby dillute thier own voter base, then you’re going to be disappointed. What your’e describing only makes logical sense for a political party that actually wants to win elections. Kinda like if I had a lemonade stand, then you tried to open one right next to me and steal my customers. Yeah I don’t think I’d be obligated to help you in that situation.
