There are socialist third party candidates already running. Claudia/Karina from PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation) and Cornell West. I think it would make more sense to throw support behind one of them.
I agree. If you are in a decidedly red state that will already vote for a Republican. A socialist runner up would be hilarious.
Heck even in a decidedly blue state. I would be willing to do that in California, but just not the swing states.
There was an app for the 2016 election called #NeverTrump that tried to do exactly this by means of "vote trading". Voters in swing states that wanted to vote 3rd party would get matched up with Californians willing to put in their "protest vote" in CA in exchange for voting Hillary in the swing state. Obviously it didn't work, but this isn't a new concept. The stakes are too high a third year in a row to fuck around.
