      They don’t, actually. The US government has a shockingly low approval rate to begin with, and it’s only getting worse over the years.

        I’m not talking about “approval rates.” I’m talking about how, in any given election, less than 5% of the vote goes to third parties.

        If third party candidates can’t get enough support to even come close to getting elected, how would we be able to get enough people organized to support a revolution? Voting takes very little effort, so I would expect the number of supporters to go down, not up.

              No, but it means measuring support for revolution by the results of elections where only about 2/3rds of Americans even vote to begin with is silly.
