Unforunately, voting for republicans doesn't punish the democrats. Democrats are fine with people voting republians as it supports the interests of their donors and supports their rationale for moving further to the right. What democrats don't want is people voting for progressives and progressive parties.
@@pairofqueensQQ , Depends on which opposition. Votes for democrats and republicans are most often a vote for the same corrupt system controlled by special interests. While they prefer to be in charge, they're fine with losing to each other because their donors will be pleased and will continue to support them with lucrative jobs and speaking gigs. Losing is still a partial win. Votes for real progressive candidates that will challenge the system is a disruption and threat to the donors and the financial gravy train of the corporate democrats and republicans.
Since the Deep State and Establishment Dems have been attacking, persecuting, and trying to kill Trump NON-STOP since 2015, I doubt that their donors are OK with him winning the presidency.

100% I love listening to Dr. West, but I don’t think he was even running a serious campaign. I wanted Dr. West to take his campaign to places like East Palestine, Ohio or Flynt, Michigan. Go there and speak to those forgotten people. Instead, I kept seeing him on podcasts, and in places like the Westside of Los Angeles, the Oakland, CA hills, and the upper west side of New York.
Unless serious changes are made to our electoral and political system, NO third party will ever stand a chance in the US. The system is designed to offer only the choice between the two established political parties. I would like that to change, but I don't see it happening in the foreseeable future.
Why, even though I have major issues with West for perceiving to jump a sinking ship at the last minute when he was ride or die for them forever, I still want to hear from him especially because I'm black and not progressive but want to hear what he has to say to either hear some that might align or just to gauge progressive discord.
