A third party with our FPTP voting system will cause an inevitable spoiler effect, which will lead to Trump winning his inevitable third term run (if he even bothers with an electoral process and doesn't just instill himself as king).
So democrats have their voters over a barrel.
Yeah, exactly, and they know it. How else would they have been able to shift further and further right over the span of 35 (ish) years?
Agreed, I don't think the solution exists electorally.
