Which is why it’s a shame to see you fight each other as if that isn’t the case.
I would wholeheartedly recommend reading How To Win Friends And Influence People (or at least this summary). Especially if you’re trying to convince people to vote in the midterms.
To add, in 2024 the 3rd party candidate with the most votes was magician Jill Stein, who magically appears right before elections, then magically disappears again afterward. And she got a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast.
So yeah, ain’t no 3rd party going to win a federal election anytime in the near or remote future. And ain’t no 3rd party even really trying. So why fucking vote for them?
