Saying a third party couldn’t win is factually incorrect

Oh, you like facts?

Here's one.

In the 2024 election the 3rd party presidential candidate with the most votes only got 0.5% of the total votes cast.

So it is FACTUALLY CORRECT to state a 3rd party can't win the presidency.

Like, what do you not grasp here? No 3rd party has done the work to become nationally viable. No 3rd party even has a SINGLE member in Congress. It is ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE for a 3rd party candidate to win the presidency anytime in the remotely near future. It would take YEARS and YEARS for a 3rd party to become a household name and get members in Congress and actually have a shot at the presidency.

Therefore, voting for a 3rd party candidate for president is akin to wiping your ass with your ballot, smelling it and thinking it smells nice, then flushing it down the toilet.

    Well, if we can't even agree what a fact is, what's the point of debating this?
