The LP definitely has potential for growth. I’d love to see them eventually take the GOP’s seat as one of the big two. All the social stuff would pass pretty much overnight cuz that’s a win for everyone; we’d just bash heads over where to (not) spend money and what (not) to regulate, but that wouldn’t be a bad thing - at least the two parties would each have a clear objective for voters to weigh, vs the GOP’s nonstop contrarian bullshit for the sole sake of contrarian bullshit. It’d also force the blue team to get their shit together and run some actual progressives instead of this race for second-worst we keep dragging our feet in. I can’t stand this loop of voting for someone because they’re not a Nazi. It’s necessary, cuz I don’t want the fucking Nazi, but is that really the highest we can set the damn bar?

My political wet dream is to look at a ballot and actually hesitate for a minute because all of the options on it are good options and trying to pick out the best one becomes a difficult task. That will never happen as long as it’s red vs blue. Yellow vs blue though… there’s potential.
