🌺🤙🏽Kanak Attack: Centrist, Third-Party Ting fo’ 2024 Good Idea o’ Nightmare?🌺🤙🏽
Da presidential campaign stay underway, and da people stay stuck wit’ da same choices: President Biden or da former President Trump. But No Labels, one Washington-based group, stay trying to change dat. Dey plan fo’ offer a third-party alternative, and dey already qualify as a party in four states.
Da group’s founder, former Democratic fundraiser Nancy Jacobson, plan fo’ raise $70 million and put a new party on da ballot wit’ a bipartisan ticket chosen from da center. But, is dis idea a good one, o’ is it a nightmare waiting to happen?🤔
Da idea of having a centrist, third-party option fo’ da 2024 presidential election sound like a good ting, but da reality may be quite different. According to a recent NBC News poll, a whopping 70% of Americans don’t want Biden to run 🙅🏽♂️, including 51% of Democrats. Almost as many, 60%, don’t want Trump to run 🙅🏼♂️, including about a third of Republicans.
Da plan is to nominate a bipartisan ticket chosen from da center, such as Sen. Joe Manchin III and former Gov. Larry Hogan. But some worry dat dis idea will not work, and it will only lead to a split in da vote. History suggests dat a third-party can’t win, and it has never happened before. Da closest anyone has ever come was Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, with 27% 🗳️.
Da unintended result of dis was dat he split da Republican vote and delivered da White House to Democrat Woodrow Wilson 🏛️. More recently, Ross Perot managed to win 19% in 1992 🗳️. Nobody else has come close. Da lesson: 34% is harder than it looks 🤷🏽♂️.
Da biggest problem with Jacobson’s vision is more basic: Da choice between Biden and Trump isn’t just a coin flip between alternative policies. Trump has publicly proposed the “termination” of parts of the Constitution that get in his way 🚫. Biden, whatever his flaws, is committed to preserving our basic institutions 🏛️.
Da risks of a second Trump presidency are simply too high to take chances 🚨. Some Democrats worry dat a third-party candidate will take more votes from Biden than Trump, making it easier fo’ Trump to win 🙅🏽♀️.
In conclusion, while da idea of a centrist, third-party option may seem appealing, da reality is dat it may not work. Da risk of splitting da vote and making it easier fo’ Trump to win is too high. Da people have to weigh da risks and make an informed decision 🤔.
