I think I disagree because there are just so many ridiculous roadblocks to ballot access for third parties in different states, plus even if you can overcome that and win you’ll run into a bunch of institutional roadblocks if you don’t caucus with a “major” party (e.g. if you want a seat on one of those bipartisan committees that hash out 90% of the discussion on a lot of boring-but-important stuff before it even gets to the legislature), but I can definitely see where you’re coming from
