Any third party that's actually trying to build a coalition and provide viable candidates would absolutely be working overtime right now.

Maybe thats the point. Wheres the discussion, the coalition?

You're not going to believe this but most of that is happening in meatspace communities because right now we're in a phase of local community action. There aren't larger scale elections that catch the focus of greater social media. Some states do have governors coming up this year but you probably won't see general or local election stuff unless you're deep in some board specifically for a city or state.

Now what you might see people talking about unionizing efforts and you maybe have been seeing some memes about a mario brother.

That's where their comments likely are.

Yup, but most likely it'll be crickets until a month or two out from the next election when they'll turn on their shiny lights and attract all the assholes that think showing interest and voting for a 3rd party right before an election, and only right before an election, is actually going to do something.
