What I’m saying is that those 24-36 seats would primarily come from places where the 3rd party candidate would take mainly rat votes, or votes from uber RINO’s, or votes from people staying home on our side who are dispirited (losers of course).
The 3rd party candidate that ran in my district could have gotten it with meager effort. That was a bona fide example in one of the last places you’d expect. The so called Libertarian who ran spent nothing. A TEA partier or true Libertarian could have walked away with it for little effort. The WAS NO REPUBLICAN RUNNING.
The Libertarians blow tons of money on a national race that does, as you say, split off more R votes than D’s, but WE’RE NOT TALKING PRESIDENCY.
It costs next to nothing to get on a ticket, or free here w/ I think ~2-3K signatures. If I could afford to not work, I could TALK to enough people to win an election around here over a cycles period. 2 of the 4 districts near me had less than 20,000 people turn out for a congressional election.
BTW, you’re approaching “douche” status by constantly referring to me smoking weed or being in fantasy land. Lighten up on it DIU...
Too funny. Constantly referring to you as smoking weed? Where did you get that? You mentioned weed in your post and it was the first time I ever referenced it relative to you. I do, however, believe it is fantasy to think a 3rd party could actually capture 24-36 seats as a no-brainer proposition. The RATS have a lock on their dependent voters. The votes for a 3rd party would come from the GOP.
