      I wish we’d yell at democrats for failing to appeal to voters, which is really one of the most basic responsibilities of a politician.

      Exactly. It’s the apithetic and doomer non-voters that are the real issue in US elections. Voter turn out is usually abhorrently low.

      People can have all the fights they want about third party votes for president and other high offices, but third parties have great potential to make local/regional change. Sometimes it feels like people forget there is more than just a president in this country.
