Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged countering the Trump administration’s policies by resisting at every turn, arguing that its incompetence makes it vulnerable.
Her remarks followed chaos caused by a rescinded executive order that temporarily shut down Medicaid portals nationwide.
She encouraged activists to take offline action, citing ongoing mobilization efforts.
Her strategy focuses on making governance difficult for Trump, calling his administration “dangerous and cruel” but also “shockingly dim.”

do the math, it’s not particularly difficult
Like I said, organise and start at local and state level and then work way up. Third parties are successful in state and local levels. And it’s not like third parties also never got seats at the federal level either. Third parties had been more successful 100 years ago. You’re being brainwashed to believe that it’s hopeless. Americans forgot how to organise and mobilise. They simply have to remember it.
The math shows it’s hopeless in FPTP.
A third party will make it easier for the party it is least aligned with to take power.
A very successful third party (to a degree that is very unlikely to happen quickly) will simply supplant the party it’s most aligned with. The supplanted party will then either have to give up, or will take on the role of helping the party it’s least aligned with to win.
A third party on a local level that is consistently and efficiently backing the same FPTP candidate as one of the two big parties can mathematically be fine I guess. In practice I haven’t seen a lot of people both enthusiastically back whatever D chooses for a presidential candidate, and argue for voting third party only at the levels where it is mathematially rational
