Oh, we absolutely MUST organize, mobilize and #generalstrike, demanding RCV, paper ballots, nationwide automatic audits, etc.
AND - we should all vote #greenparty in the 2020 general. That includes swing states. Make sure Biden either loses or wins with zero mandate.

How did voting 3rd party in 2000 and 2016 help progressives? How did Gore’s and Clinton’s losses help move the party left or energize/empower Greens, Social Dems or any other 3rd party? How did Bush/Trump winning with zero mandates in 2000 or 2016 weaken the RNC?

How did voting for the allegedly "lesser" of two evils help progressives in 2000 or 2016? Or for the last 40 years? That strategy *gave* us Trump. Voting either Biden or Trump continues that. ATM, voting

I did. The bottom line is, they're innocently (I hope) faulty framing. Voting 3rd party in 2000 and 2016 at least didn't give the Dems or Reps a larger, undeserved mandate. It's a shame more of us didn't have the courage of our convictions.

Gore & Clinton lost on their own. Though Trump is horrific, Clinton would have been, too. (Remember: HRC gave us Trump via her Pied Piper strategy, and by being a toxic candidate.) Again, by far the best 2020 strategy is to

You haven’t answer my question: how did voting for the Green candidate in 2000 or 2016 help the left?

Yes, I did answer Voting for the Green candidate in 2000 & 2016 didn't support the duopoly. That inherently helped the left, & would have done more, if more people had the courage of their convictions. Let's flip that - how did voting for Hillary "help the left"?

The duopoly won every time. No less of a mandate ever. It proved the Green party’s irrelevance and hurt the left by feuling and supporting the DNC’s and MSM’s arguments blaming us for . Even though those arguments were false, it made it harder to rally anyone to join the left.

Nope. They'll blame us whether we vote Green or not. The LAST thing anyone should do is give a mandate to one's abuser. A Joe Biden administration would be a horrific blow to the left - because it would cause the centrists to go to sleep and ignore progressives even more.

There is no mandate that could possibly be given or withheld by anyone to either of these candidates. There will be a President in Jan. It will be a Dem or a GOP, he will rule as if he has a mandate. You’re finally getting what really DOES matter: what we do AFTER the election!
