    Since the state will never change that alone, people should organize to vote for third party themselves. If the poll says that most people will vote for a specific third party if they come up as a majority, then there is no risk in throwing your vote away.

    My point is, I guess, organize elections without support from the state. The elections where you show who you would really vote for or the law or the system you would really vote for, without any obligations. Then when peoples choice is clearly seen, you can have courage to actually vote for what the most people believe in.

      Then by definition they’re no longer a third party.

      In any case, we already have these polls. The truth is that most people are moderates. Far leftism is not as popular as you think/hope it is.

        Yes, nobody is advocating for third party to be always in power, since obviously then they are not a third party anymore. It just like no one is advocating for opposition to the government to always be in power, because that makes no sense, but the change of government and voting for that opposition does make sense.

        It would be better for people to choose moderates then these people we have now. I am sure majority of people don’t support genocide in Gaza. But if people don’t understand that voting for third party is necessary, we should work on that, we shouldn’t give up.
