Yang is starting a 3rd party, Gabbard is increasingly becoming more of a centrist-populist maverick and both are friendly with each other and have a similar support base.
If somehow they get ballot access in most states and run in 2024 on a ticket, how well would they do?
0.5%? 1%? 5%?

That is, perhaps, the least attractive ticket to have ever been suggested on this website.

No more than 0.2% of the national vote.

What precisely unites Yang and Gabbard other than a superficially similar edginess?

100,000 votes, maybe even less.

They're good at attracting the attention of the worst sort of fair weather friends when it comes to voters?

What exactly is their base? Asian tech bros who idolize Elon Musk and horny divorced boomer dads who weren't already planning on writing in Ivanka Trump?

I'd predict Perot-type numbers if Biden/Harris is unpopular enough and they campaign extensively. Biden could flip some states with <40% of the vote, but I doubt the P.V. margin would be affected. Biden would probably get >50% in a handful of states (CA,MD,VT, DC/MA) but that's it in this scenario. All the other states would likely be in the 40's for both him & the GOP nominee (assuming it's Trump).

As with Trump, the base is mobilizing disaffected apathetic non-engaged, low information voters who normally are non-voters.

Terribly.

But we'd have to hear about them endlessly.

Yang could scrape together about 3-5%, which is an incredibly impressive accomplishment in this day and age. If anything, I think it'd be Gabbard that would hold him back.

Andrew Yang wouldn't pick Tulsi Gabbard anyways.

He's more likely to pick some rich guy like Mike Bloomberg as his running mate.

Bad just like every other third party in recent memory. Probably would poll better due to star power though.

Yang and someone more credible in government but still forward thinking would be optimal. Only weirdos like Tulsi Gabbard, I think having her on the ticket would delegitimize it. A campaign wouldn't just be trying to win 18-24 White/Asian men. Yang was unable to appeal to any demographic besides that in the primary.

Third party support will be at a minimum for the next few cycles.

Why? There’s been a proliferation of pessimism on both of the parties with many people despising them both. I don’t see how the fact that, COVID taking its cost notwithstanding, there’s been an uptick of third party and non-electoral organizations membership in these past few years lead to anything but a rise in votes.

Worse than Roseanne Barr did when she was a pot smoking liberal - before her conversion to Cheeto-worshipping has-been.

The "why" is simple:  The US is highly polarized, politically, and its elections are a winner-take-all matter.  Not only are they winner-take-all; there are no runoffs that allow someone to vote Libertarian or Independent or Constitution Party or Green Party; the establishment I can tolerate is better than the establishment I view as an existential threat.
