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.

“Too Funny”
“Amazingly Naïve”
“Partaking of that newly legalized substance”

You may think it’s a fantasy, but if you actually looked at some of the districts, turnouts, and demographics, and then actually rubbed two brain cells together over it, you’d see it.

I’m not talking about the dependent voters, I’m talking about the ~5-15% in any given area that tack either way, and also a certain quantity of the sit-outs.

You still have yet to come up with anything remotely resembling a rebuttal other than GOPe type hyperbole.

I came up with an actual do-able example. Of all the house seats the Republicans picked up in the last cycle, they sure as hell didn’t get them all by suddenly having a few million couch sitting registered R’s up and decide they were going to vote this time.

Out of 435 seats, 24-36 isn’t much. Besides, who needs the 3rd party to be big? I just want those seats to provide sand that seizes the gears of government up. If they all sat their and picked their noses for the whole session, we’d be 1000X better off.

Hell, how about this option, we just crowd fund paying them to NOT DO ANYTHING. Kind of like idiot/criminal protection money. “Pay up America, or they’ll find something that needs legislating”...
