Ok, wait up. I get that american polidicks are retarded because they put everything in two baskets that are basically both fucked by the lobbies and the Congress ultimately, but how is making a third part party, independent from the other two, any sort of accelerationism?
Because forming a third party is retarded. If Trump was going to win on a third party, he'd have done it the first time. And he couldn't do it back then, so he won't be able to win now. All forming a third party does is split republican votes and ensure the democrats control the USA for the foreseeable future. That's IF him forming a party has any effect at all. It probably won't because he's lost.
There's a reason we have the two-party system. We used to have a billion parties and now we have two. Some countries don't even have a second party. Our political system is a great example of darwinism in action. You start from a massive number of political parties and, over time, we gradually condense into larger and larger parties that represent specific issues less and general attitudes more. Because the parties are so big that vague attitudes and talking points are the only ways to differentiate them.
It's not a coincidence or accident that we have two parties. The party with the most votes wins. Ergo, the biggest party wins. Why? Because the biggest party is the biggest. It has co-opted all the smaller interest groups and taken their votes for itself.
In our current political climate, we have two parties: Democrats and Republicans. Basically the same party except for SJWism and some other shit. Now, if you take x thousands of votes away from the Republican base and give it to Trump's Party of Failure, then the Democrats win every time. Absolutely every time. Trump's Third Party has no chance to win, because Democrats won't vote for him and a lot of Republicans will vote for the newest GOP cuck.
End result is this: with no changes in Democratic voters and siphoning away Republican votes, the Dems take over everything. I call it accelerationism because I've heard so many guestfags argue in favor of accelerationism on DHI. I just assumed that those who vote for a third party do so in full knowledge that they're throwing away their vote and giving it to their opposition. That's fine if you want to do that, or if you don't want to vote at all because shit's rigged. But we will probably never again, EVER, have a third-party candidate take the office of President. Even Trump wasn't really third-party (he kinda was until he won the primaries and then the republicans took him in.) Trump is just throwing a fit because the republicans threw him under the bus. Just like how he threw his maga occupy followers under the bus himself.
Third parties are even more verboten now that the established power circles have decided to never again allow another Trump into office. Like I said, he was the closest we have gotten to an independent president in ages and they're going to continue REEing over him until long after he dies. Shitlibs will make sure he goes down in history as Hitler 2.0
