    Its not correct. That’s not how statistics work. Its very much possible for a non-democrat or non-republican to win. Predicting likely outcomes doesn’t mean those things will happen. Y’all sound like MBA bros.

        You dont think that both parties could offend the majority of americans and cause a third party to win?

        I’d argue that Donald trump was third party at the start, and that republicans and democrats offending most Americans is how we ended up with him.

        If Bernie or someone like him were to win the presidency, would they be considered a democrat or an independent?

          No, I really don’t, did you see 2016 and 2024. They voted in utter incompetence rather than consider it. I agree with you that it’s incredibly frustrating but in order for a third party to be viable ranked choice would need to be introduced. It’s a bitter pill.
