You do have a good point... but I think it would leach from the republicans, and not much from the democrats... but I could be wrong.
Check out the election of 1912. Woodrow Wilson won 40 states, over 400 electoral college votes, with only 41.8% of the votes. This is because Taft and Roosevelt were competing and each got 23% and 27% of the vote, respectively. If those were combined, they would have easily beat the 41% of Wilson. Special mention to Debs, a fucking Socialist, who got 6% of the vote.
So, let's say a 3rd party does do better, but no party gets 270 electoral college votes. It would go to the states which certainly would vote for either Dem or Rep and doubtful they will vote Patriot because the people who would vote representing the state are already Dem or Rep...
So, that's why I think.
But you do make a great point... maybe now is the perfect time. But I still stand by my statement where we need to get Patriot candidates to primary the swamp.
