Correct. Both of the major parties are just working for different sets of corporate special interests so elections are nothing more than a game to them. The Big Tech and Renewable Energy Party wins so for a few years those companies' profit margins go up while policies favor them, then the Fossil Fuel and Telecom Party takes over and their donors' profits go up for the next few years, back and forth over and over again. Their representatives still live comfortably in between, so they don't care if their ostensible constituents end up homeless and starving.
We need a party that only answers to the people, but the possibility of splitting the vote would be the least of its problems. As we all know, Biden has actually said and done things far worse than anything they've even made up about Trump, but that gets swept under the rug since Joe serves the corporate establishment, whereas Trump is supposedly ten thousand times more evil than Hitler because he doesn't.
Likewise, regardless of its actual platform or demographics, any populist type party nowadays is not going to get treated any better by the media, bureaucrats, or other politicians than they would be if they were literally goosestepping around wearing swastika armbands. It's sad that our society has gotten to the point where wanting decent-paying jobs, reasonable taxes, and Constitutional rights to be upheld is considered morally equivalent to committing genocide, but nevertheless that's where we are.
In one respect that's an advantage because big-money donors will steer clear for the sake of their reputations, preventing them from overtaking it. The direct effect of propaganda would probably be neutral since it's just preaching to the choir. However, just like with Trump, the established parties will be able to leverage that reputation to justify obstruction, sabotage, frivolous investigations, malicious prosecutions, deplatforming, and rallying their own supporters.
Just getting onto the ticket in more than a state or two may prove virtually impossible. Even so, I'd have to agree it would still be easier than cleaning up the Republican party. The milquetoast RINO candidates are only the tip of the iceberg. However, with the elections being compromised, either option feels pointless.
