1. Is there any way to bring in another Dem candidate now?
2.Third party candidates need to win lower offices, gain support and work their way up rather than just jumping into the presidential race with no experience and no chance of winning.
The only candidate I see with any possible positive message is Jill Stein of the Greens and that will probable be who I will vote for, if I vote above local and maybe one state race. I will not.cannot vote for anyone who has supported this monstrous genocide.
You are right about third parties building from the ground level up from city council and county and state races. But can that be done in the number needed to alter our off-the-cliff path? I have my doubts.
Agreed. I have no hope for any significant change for 2024. It'll just be the one corporate party, what I refer to as the "Republocats".
Given almost half of eligible voters choose not to vote that means the 'winner' of these elections is being actively support by only about 25% of the population, which means they have no real legitimacy as "representatives" of the people. What happens if that drops to 15% ... 10% ... 8%.?
There is an argument to be made that not voting may be the truest and over time the most effective vote. I support people doing whatever seems right to them because , ultimately, the system is collapsing under its many lies no matter who 'wins'.
It's terrifying what the Repugs want to do. Project 2025. I guess I'll have to vote for Biden to stop them. They're all owned by AIPAC. It's all a disaster caused by unbridled greed, stupidity and heartlessness.

If you are interested, I had a post on lessons from another time of American crisis and collapse of a possible path for some relief until the passage to something better occuers. https://mark192.substack.com/p/a-true-radical-given-what-our-nation
I'll check it out. Jill Stein will never win so I don't think that's worthwhile.
