What's more likely to happen in DC if it doesn't vote Democratic; voting Republican, or voting third party?

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

Third party.

[Greedo punched first]

What third party might DC vote for?

[Consciously Unconscious]

What third party might DC vote for?

A statehood party when there's a very unpopular Democrat running?

The Green Party?

I live right outside DC, but I know the city's politics pretty well. I used to think my grandparents, who live in the District itself, were among the last remaining Republicans in the city itself. Then Trump came and they jumped ship.

It's hard to overstate just how overwhelmingly Democratic DC is. It's more Democratic than the Bronx, Manhattan, Oakland, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago, and every other bastion of Democratic zeal in the US. It has a PVI of a staggering D+43. There simply aren't Republicans in the District anymore (well, there are, but a good portion of them hate Trump.) Trump literally got 4% of the vote in 2016 and I can't remember the last time Republicans actually ran a serious candidate for Mayor. After a cursory glance, it would appear the last time a Republican broke 10% in a mayoral election was 2002, when I was literally less than a year old.

So yeah, the District is not going Republican anytime soon. I'm willing to bet a left wing third party would narrowly win the District before the Republicans could barring a major, MAJOR party shift.

In California; even Democratic strongholds like Long Beach, Hacienda Heights, Santa Ana, West Covina, and Santa Monica are far more Republican than DC.

What third party might DC vote for?

Bloomberg?

Third party - if the Democratic nominee has a scandal.

[Kyle Rittenhouse is a Political Prisoner]

D.C will go Republican. It won't be soon, but it will happen.

Third party, obviously. The city's population is basically a microcosm of the national Democratic Party coalition, and if there was a strong left-wing third party candidacy, I could see the city voting as if the general election were just another Democratic primary.
