If the poll says that most people will vote for a specific third party if they come up as a majority

Then by definition they're no longer a third party.

In any case, we already have these polls. The truth is that most people are moderates. Far leftism is not as popular as you think/hope it is.

Yes, nobody is advocating for third party to be always in power, since obviously then they are not a third party anymore. It just like no one is advocating for opposition to the government to always be in power, because that makes no sense, but the change of government and voting for that opposition does make sense.

It would be better for people to choose moderates then these people we have now. I am sure majority of people don't support genocide in Gaza. But if people don't understand that voting for third party is necessary, we should work on that, we shouldn't give up.

I am sure majority of people don’t support genocide in Gaza.

And why is that?

It's pretty close to 50/50: https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-poll-biden-war-gaza-4159b28d313c6c37abdb7f14162bcdd1

Leftism is a bubble. It's not reflective of the majority.
