and that's not just hyperbole.
Let me explain my reasoning, step by step.
First off, in the American system of electing Presidents, third parties endanger the party, candidate or anti-vote in which they are most closely aligned.
Ralph Nader in 2000 and Jill Stein in 2016. There is no question that a substantial net of Nader's votes would have gone to Gore. Two SC Justices were appointed by Bush. In 2016, Stein took anti-Trump votes from Hillary, costing her the election, in my opinion, giving Trump 3 SC appointments. The first result was awful, the second was catastrophic.
The key poll that came out recently described a group known as "double haters". This group of voters decide elections. They are the 10% to 15% of the electorate that have an unfavorable view of both candidates. The anti-politician "vibes" in this country contribute to this large number. The poll I refer to had a breakdown of 54% to 15% for Biden vs. Trump among this group.
If Yang eats into this race, which is likely the case, Adolf Trump could go from having no chance in 2024 to the favorite.
If that doesn't scare the living shit out of you, it should. Because it certainly scares me.
