What does third parties have to do with lifelong Dem voters wanting the Dem candidate to side with the Dem voting base on basic parts of the party platform like:

  1. No fracking

  2. Better healthcare

  3. Climate change is real and producing less fossil fuels is a good thing

What you're doing is insisting if you're not 100% loyal to the candidate with a D by their name you really have an R.

That's the same fucking shit Republicans went thru and it ended up with trump.

Why the fuck do you want to follow down the path of "never criticize the party, and always vote for them".

Please explain to the class why this time it will work out good for the party that takes that path.

What's your alternative, Trump? Because a 3rd party candidate will never win the general election without a massive overhaul of our election system which will never happen as long as the Rs have a majority in any branch of the government.
