If you would prefer a socialist party candidate the most logical choice is to pick whatever Democratic/Republican candidate is most willing to enact voting method reform, e.g. ranked choice voting.

Because voters are incentivized to pick one of two main parties in the current method, third parties are essentially guaranteed never to get off the ground.

It is ironic, but if this was the case we would probably just see the Republican party shift to be more moderate and collect more votes. Not a bad thing IMO. Cultivating extremism is bad for democracy.

Oh yeah the hate speech is legal, it’s just the hanging of the sign on public property that isn’t.
