Coop Scoop: Third Parties Are No Longer Just a Protest Vote

They threaten to elect Trump by running in 4 key swing states

Sept 17-18

By Marc Cooper

I was about to write a post on what the real deal is with third parties 7 weeks out from the election, and then I saw what good pal Micah Sifry wrote about an hour earlier. Frankly, he did a much better job than I would have as he took a detailed look into the data and possible consequences — all very negative.

Micah’s substack, like mine, gladly accepts paid subs but like mine, all of his posts are completely free.

Here is the link to Micah’s latest brilliant substack on third parties. PLEASE OPEN THIS LINK AND READ WHAT HE PUT BEFORE YOU. And then subscribe even its at the free level. Paid is better.

Here’s just a brief tease from a much more in-depth piece.

● Green Party candidate Jill Stein will be on the ballot in Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin; in Georgia, a challenge to her ballot appearance is ongoing.

● Independent Cornel West will be on in Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. Tentatively, too, he is on in Georgia but a challenge is ongoing.

● Even though he has dropped out, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be on the ballot in Michigan and Wisconsin, though he is still trying to be removed in Michigan.

Current polls suggest that these third-party options could tip the results to Trump in at least four key states: Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan and Wisconsin, though RFK muddies the waters for Trump in the latter two. And Stein, who is making Gaza her signature issue, could also affect the results in Arizona.

Please read the entire post from Micah. It’s crucial. If you have friends who feel they are morally prohibited from voting for Harris for whatever reason, here is the hard evidence that their party vote could be catastrophic rather than virtuous. +++
