> We need to force the two parties to loosen their grip on the political machine in the US. The only way we do that is by supporting third party candidates.

May I suggest that you guys explore elections reform as an option to get fresh faces on the political stage and rejuvenate the whole political process?

What better way to do that then make the two primary parties afraid of losing ground to third parties?

In a race where two third party candidates can siphon votes off the two primary parties, it's finally in the interests of the main parties to move towards something like Ranked Choice.
