Probably the biggest practical reason why a third party wouldn’t work is that most people don’t pay attention to the candidates until close to the election so they’re not even going to necessarily realize there’s a serious third-party candidate.
The Dem candidate in 2028 for president AOC. Book it

I disagree with this. Perot made a large impact well over 30 years ago, well prior to the internet/instant and unfettered access/information age we find ourselves in today. These days it's nearly impossible to avoid politics in all manner of your life, even when making a concerted effort to unplug. And with election "seasons" starting earlier it seems to be more up time than down time for it. In this last cycle if a Joe Manchin or Bernie Sanders or Tulsi Gabbard or any number of candidates had run as a Third Party, the people would've known them and they would've been a serious threat, at least insomuch as to make a large impact on who would win even if they didn't. Hells Bells, you had Democrats crying foul after 2016 and during 2024 over Jill Stein's Green Party runs and both sides shitting bricks over RFK's 2024 run.
It isn't a lack of knowledge, instead it's fear. People have been conditioned to believe that voting third party or write in is at best a wasted vote or worse a vote for the other guy. That fear is baked into the duopolistic system, and the greatest impediment to a third party gaining traction.

She won't be the number nominee in 2028. She might take Schumer's senate seat though.
Not unless Reagan Republicans all of sudden become pro choice, pro gay rights and drop the trickle down econ nonsense.
I think more moderate things Democrats used to run on like more access to healthcare, building the middle class, jobs and infrastructure. That’s all 30,000 foot view stuff and would need to workshopped for the ‘28 election, but if Democrats could focus less on stuff that paints them into a “liberal woke” corner, they’d beat whoever the MAGA successor is. Especially Vance. He’s not getting the Trump/Musk stink off him.
The Reagan Republicans should take the position of the vast majority of the country and be OK with abortion in the first trimester (up to something like 15 to 20 weeks) and allow abortion after that ONLY in the cases that it's necessary for the physical health of the mother or death of the baby, especially in the third trimester. Pro-gay rights? Gay marriage is the law of the land now and the Reagan Republicans wouldn't need to do more on this other than ignore the issue. Live and let live. Replace trickle down with good old fashioned Republican fiscal responsibility. Reduce spending and tax only as necessary to promote pro-growth and bring in sufficient tax revenue necessary to fund an efficient right-sized government.

nudes or she can't run. Constitutional amendment.
Like picking between an anal probe from the aliens from Alpha Centauri or shot gun to the nuts
She’d be great to date for a few months. Could talk her into doing anything. I thought you were liberal!!!!
Nah, I'm more mutt than anything else. Very much issue specific. Voted republican my whole life until I heard Sarah Palin speak when she was the ill fated running mate for McCain.
"Q. Governor Palin, how would you go about handling peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians?
A. Well in Alaska, umm. I read some magazines.....um. You know.... COMMUNISTS are destroying our country"
I did watch Naiiln' Palin tho--an ininitely smarter person played Palin in that movie.
No I meant you could scream at AOC I thought you were liberal!! Bring home Sara!!!
AOC over Palin at this point. Ron Dugay has destroyed Palin. Also, she looks like her post divorce lifestyle has been to go through a couple of packs of Marlboro unfiltered, and lives off pringles and beef jerky
It is all rather irrelevant to me at this point, cause I'm choosing Foxy Knoxy over everyone. She's a real killer
Yup. That’s where the energy is in the Democratic party right now. Maybe it’s been there for a while. Bernie was kneecapped in 2016 and 2020 after all.
Him and AOC are on the trail drawing massive crowds. Schumer is a lame duck, Obama and Clinton an after thought. The days of competently administered liberalism are gone, if they ever even existed. The woke caucus is on the back burner for now as well.
What’s left? After race Marxism and gender Marxism, how bout just Marxism, Marxism?
Full on class warfare like your post above. Truly revolutionary shit from the Democrats.

Yep that’s where they’ll pivot. AOC leading the party. Blacks and trannies are an afterthought. Class warfare. Probably a better approach
Why do you think Musk has drawn so much ire as of late? Partly because Democrat’s have come to terms with the fact that Trump is Teflon. But also because he makes a pretty great scapegoat if you want to launch a class struggle.
Which is why Trump and Republicans really need the economy to succeed. If Republicans are sitting there in 2026 and 2028 with a stagnant economy or worse.
Well then all the imagery of Musk, the heads of industry at the inauguration, Trump’s cabinet full of millionaires and billionaires starts to look really bad.
“They’re hoarding all the wealth for themselves, you see?!?”
It’s not a new playbook. It’s not an especially nuanced one either. But history shows it can be effective at launching political movements before ultimately destroying societies.
Like class warfare is not what's happening now. Republicans kneecap government and give themselves tax cuts. Hopefully the revolution will be through the political process.
I don't see AOC giving up racial identitarian politics or changing her position on trans issues. She is woke to her bones. I think she really believes it and won't backtrack.
Old Bernie’s coaching her up. She can keep that in her purse for a bit. Get the rich!!!
Let’s not sleep on* Nancy Mace.It is all rather irrelevant to me at this point, cause I'm choosing Foxy Knoxy over everyone. She's a real killer

Leah Williamson --Arsenal woman's soccer player. She is at the top of every list. And she loves 5'9" American men....
She's an actress following a script. A below average in every way spinster. Politics is like the super bowl for losers like this.
Nancy Mace? She's more well endowed than @mcmurtry66 Good luck
Rather have that than teeth that can chew through an oak tree like AsshOleC
