Voting 3rd/independent is an absolute waste of a vote and always will be until that party gets strength in local and then state first. You want a true liberal party to get headway? Got to get those local people voted in. And even then it may take decades. A vote this year for president that's not Republican or Democrat will be wholly ignored.
"leftists" like to pretend the primaries don't exist and then they are all "wah wah how did we get here?"
It's more than that though, true leftists don't really have a party in US politics at all. Democrats are still conservatives and it's a shock to liberals when they finally figure that out. And capitalists and lobbyists fight every day to keep it that way.
