Without third parties Republicans would win more
The opposite is true. It's not republicans splitting off to vote green lol When Trump won and when bush won, third parties took away significant votes (1-3%) away from democratic candidates.
In 2016:
In 2020 if Libertarians went Republican and Greens went Democrat, Trump would've won Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and nearly Pennsylvania.
That would've tied the election, leading to a Trump presidency.
You're right about 2000 though.
"if they did that". Which they didnt, because third parties disproportionately affect democrats.
What are you basing that on? Again, Libertarians lean Republican, just as Greens lean Democrats, Libertarians cost Trump 2020...
