You'd think midterms would be a great time to get your name out there and run high profile candidates to win House districts led by charlatans...

That has been a big issue that led us here, that people started taking Memes at face value.

You're spot on. There's far more I'd like to say about third parties (and have been in the comments). Memes don't lend themselves well to longform opinions, and most discussions need to be longform.

They're better as a starting point for conversation instead of actual conversation.
