You’d think midterms would be a great time to get your name out there and run high profile candidates to win House districts led by charlatans…

If this lame post from OP was accurate it would say “Isn’t it kinda weird that I only think about third parties every 4 years?”
Because they do exist during all of the other years, if you’re paying attention
Oh I think about them a lot more often, especially when I look at my midterm ballots and see the occasional third party candidate for a local race, and there’s been absolutely no campaigning nor advertising effort. Or, when I see a race that a Republican is running unopposed, and third parties have wasted a perfectly good opportunity in running a candidate there.
If third parties want to win, they cannot rely on people doing personal research beforehand. I like to do so, but I’m certainly in the minority.
That has been a big issue that led us here, that people started taking Memes at face value.
You’re spot on. There’s far more I’d like to say about third parties (and have been in the comments). Memes don’t lend themselves well to longform opinions, and most discussions need to be longform.
They’re better as a starting point for conversation instead of actual conversation.
