The foaming at the mouth about “government tyranny” was just a load of bullshit to help rake in the money so Wayne could afford to take more personal trips on the corporate jet.
I have started to apply that to all lobby groups. I’ve been identified as a republican, while the previous owners of my house were democrats (or at least identified that way), so I get their political mail now that the forwarding as expired. I often get mail on the same day from both a left and right group, in it is always “Send us money because [other side] is [something exaggerated to scare supporters into sending money]”. You could use a standard search/replace on the same form documents to write the letters both are sending. It is very amusing.
There will be another election. Third parties don’t need to win to send a message and change things, as the very fact that some positions get some votes means that politicians looking to win try to figure out how to attract some of those voters next time.

Meanwhile I have long been voting third party…
In a FPTP system, that’s not the brag you think it is

I’m super glad you get to send a message and change things while people are kidnapped and killed. Thanks for helping.
If the message is “that circle of people in the back of the crowd are mumbling something”, it doesn’t matter.
More people checking out instead of getting involved means the more easily influenced are all that remain to campaign for.
