      Given that independent (non-Democratic/Republican) candidates hold only a very, very tiny minority of all elected positions, I’d say that there have not been plenty of people putting in the work. Shit, look at local election; school boards positions elections sometimes have less than a thousand voters participating, depending on the school board. You should absolutely be able to get enough people knocking on doors to get Libertarian candidates (in Republican-dominated areas) or Green candidates (in Democratic-dominated areas) winning, if you just had people going out and knocking on doors.

        But they don’t, because it’s all armchair politics without willingness to put in the real work. I’ve never seen a thing targeted at me for 3rd party candidates.

      Oh. Okay, fuck it, I guess. Let’s do nothing at all even attempting to mitigate. Let this trolley ride its way on to the leaderboard.
