    No. It shows how bad a candidate she was. People love reform candidates for a reason: Washington is so dirty, and our interests are not corporate interests. Centrist Democrats inspire leftist voters to stay home or vote third party.

      This this this! Guys listen to this guy. He is smart.

      Obama won with a message that politicians were dirty and we needed a change.

      Trump won with a message that politicians were dirty and we needed a change.

      Biden barely won with a message that Trump was dirtier than politicians and we needed a change.

      Anecdotally, the reason I went third party that year was because the big two were so bad in my eyes that I thought third party had enough of a chance to go up a few percentage points, possibly receiving a little more recognition in the future.

      Not win. But something that could lead to better elections in the future. I was wrong.

      I don’t regret my vote though, since I had found someone to vote for, rather than against.
