Immigration has become one of the central issues of the 2024 race, with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump vowing to expand the draconian policies of his first term and deport 10 million immigrants from the country amid what he calls an “invasion.”

We host a roundtable discussion in Chicago with Oscar Chacón, executive director of Alianza Americas, an immigrant rights group; Maria Hinojosa, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, founder of Futuro Media and host of the Latino USA podcast; and Marisa Franco, director and co-founder of Mijente, a national digital organizing hub for Latinx and Chicanx communities.
Third parties who are not a pity vote, in the USA , can only arise from the school boards and city halls.

It’s broke but it’s not dead
If you want third party, then run or support school board candidates, dog catchers, sheriffs; and then look to the next county for like minded folks. Someday it could be a coalition to change state politics

Which 3rd parties run for county offices? I’m out of the loop
None get all counties but the libertarians have a good number
