Democrats are tools to steal votes from third parties.

You are also ignoring the Libertarians which the Republicans compromised with to get votes instead of ignoring their voters.

To be fair, Republican compromises with Libertarians were practically meaningless. Trump made a big deal about pardoning Ross Ulbricht for Libertarians and then left all the other drug dealers in prison. His biggest initiatives right now are tariffs and deporting all the cheap labor.

But you know what, it would work with Greens too. Democrats could just say they'll "push for" M4A and RCV, change nothing, and get half the Green votes.
