    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.

      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.
