That "temporary sacrifice" you refer to could easily become permanent, considering all the nice poll workers, attorneys general, bureaucrats, and vote counters the victorious Dims will appoint, not to mention the little "tweaks" to the election laws and Gerrymanders they'll make.

Libertarians and other third parties pull about 2% now. After a few years of your notorious "sacrifice", you'll be lucky to get .05%. The Dims, don't forget, will NOT make it easy for you. Hell, you just might find yourself banned entirely. Refer to my long post for the TRUE "big picture".

Then what are you so worried about? Doesn't look like they're having much of an effect on national politics. In other posts you like to blame third parties for the degraded state of Republican opposition, but I think it's clear from your numbers that if Republicans are losing in congressional races, it's because majorities are voting Democrat, not for any other reason.

After a few years of your notorious "sacrifice", you'll be lucky to get .05%.

Here's where I completely disagree. Third parties typically do much better in areas with solid Democrat majorities, for obvious reasons. They could do even better than that with a little more encouragement. It's the GOP that's standing in the way of progress, not the third parties.

The Dims, don't forget, will NOT make it easy for you. Hell, you just might find yourself banned entirely.

Bring it on! I'd sure like to see them try. I trust I don't need to bring up the old analogy about the frog in the slowly heating pot of water. That's the situation we're in now, and it's not getting any better, and it's not going to get any better with RINO's in charge; it will only get slower. That's the big picture, my friend.
