Wall Street Journal: “History and recent polling suggest a third-party candidate has little chance of winning and could tip the election to Trump, the Republican former president who No Labels itself says is too dangerous to return to the White House.”

“A No Labels candidate could swing the race in critical states or help ensure no candidate gets to 270 electoral votes, which would let state delegations in the House pick the winner, likely favoring the GOP.”

with the winner of virtually every election being either the Democratic or Republican candidate. Third party candidates are just egotistical spoilers.
In over 50 years of voting I've always cast my ballot for the Democratic Party candidate. If those on the Left vow to do this in '24 and vote for Democratic candidates like it was their duty we can overwhelm the vote from the right. No excuses.
