It looks like we’re screwed either way, with a close race between Mr. Krabs and his opponent Mr. Magoo and while the DNC and GOP pretend to hate each other, the truth is that the DNC and GOP are nearly identical (only differing on cultural issues) and their enemies are those who stand in the way of their corporate duopoly.
This is why we need a 3rd party candidate in 2024 to rise above the rest and that’s where Tulsi Gabbard comes in.
As a strong independent woman who isn’t afraid to criticize the Democrats, she’s the perfect candidate to continue Bernie’s legacy while also destroying the corporatist duopoly.
The plan’s quite simple. Tulsi will seek the Democratic nomination. If she or a candidate who holds similar views wins, then all we have to do is sit back and relax. However, this is the same party that nominated Hubert Humphrey with only 2% of the popular vote in 1968 and fought tooth and nail to make sure Hillary beat Bernie in 2016, so she’ll probably lose to a corporate candidate like Kamala Harris or Andrew Cuomo.
In this case, she’ll pull a John Anderson and run as an independent. Then she’ll pick Libertarian Justin Amash as her VP in an attempt to create a libertarian/progressive alliance and then get as many 3rd parties as possible to endorse her.
After that, she’ll have to widen her fanbase as much as possible and also get as many endorsements as possible. This means attracting paleo conservatives, classical liberals, social democrats, independents, and anyone else who doesn’t align with the political establishment by focusing heavily on social issues and foreign policy, while still letting the world know that she supports Medicare for all and a living minimum wage.
If she does that, she’ll get on the debate stage (where she’ll crush the competition) and can potentially throw the election to the house.
If you have any better ideas, please let me know in the comments.
