To an extent. They and Republicans are committed to learning the wrong lesson. All these people refusing to vote Etc or voting third party. You will never get their attention or get them to learn from your actions. They will always look at the one of the two that won. And imitate them. It's what's happened for over 50 years. And the same people are still in charge.

    They aren't learning the wrong lessons because it's not the public that they serve, it's private interests. They know exactly what they are doing.

    And if you're a voter or someone who believes they should serve their constituents. What kind of lesson would you generally call it when they serve special interests instead? You are not disagreeing with me.

    They know.

    Third party votes aren't cast to win an election. However, third party voters certainly change local politics, where all of their progress is being made.

    (for example, ballot initiatives in my state had massive third party participation, and have been successful)

    re non-voters, they are growing every year, now at about 36%. They know they can't get their attention or teach lessons, too.
