I don't think one is far and away worse. I think the religious Republikkkan right is worse, but I also think they are louder and more unabashed in what makes them terrible. In my experience and observation, the left is a more decorated and polished turd. Example: I haven't seen that either side is what I consider tolerant, but the left will act like they are.

Well aware. Are you trying to convince me that the right is terrible? I've already acknowledged that. If you're trying to set up that the left is wonderful, I see no point in having that discussion with someone loyal to the left. I would no sooner try to convince a right loyalist of the atrocities of the right.
Loyalists think their side is flawless. No point in convincing them otherwise.
Some left loyalist wants to quote this very reply and paint a picture that I'm saying the sides are equal. It has happened before.
There's no point.

You did. My bad.
So why did you point out the capitol & books & voting? We both acknowledge they both suck but you pointed out some of the many atrocities of just one side. If you don't mind: Why?

Here are the 3 House Republicans that voted against a bill to make lynching a federal hate crime
Republicans said the anti-lynching bill would "endanger other liberties such as freedom of speech" and was being used to "advance a woke agenda."

Do yall see any possibility of a viable 3rd party candidate in our lifetimes?
I don't see how our current system keeps functioning without our society crumbling. Even if a Republican and Democrat agree on an issue they'll vote against each other just to prove a point. Extrapolate that over every issue and decades and where do we end up

Current biparty system is BIG trash and more and more people are seeing that. There are a lotttta people who vote for a candidate just because they don't want the other candidate to win, and not because they actually believe in the candidate they voted for. I do see that happening less and less moving forward.

A third party candidate that has a chance of winning? No chance at all of that happening, I don't think. There may be some out there that you agree with on 99 percent of the issues, but they'll end up getting less than 1 percent of the vote.
Sadly I'm just gonna have to keep voting for the smaller pile of garbage, that being the Democrats. No way I'd ever vote for a Republican as they are right now.

Agree with this. I think there probably more of a willingness on the part of the American general public to seriously consider third-party options, but running and winning a major political campaign takes big, big bucks and the Democrats/Republicans have a huge advantage in fund-raising infrastructure that I don’t think can be overcome.

For a third party candidate to be viable, Democrats and Republicans would have to rewrite electoral rules and agree to give themselves less power. There isn't a chance to see that happen if we just go by the gerrymandering and voter suppression shenanigans that have happened since section 4 of the Voting Rights Act was struck down.
In other words, we're stuck.

Disregarding the system as a whole, is there a third party candidate that would be good enough to unite most the country? Assuming the system allows a viable third party candidate in a political utopia

If the way this pandemic was handled doesn't show you that no form of government gives a singular **** about the citizens whether black or white, IDK what else to say.
Unless people want a full out revolution in the states, only way to ensure freedoms & liberty in this system is to accumulate more money & pay these old leeches no mind

I’ll say it again, never seen a new Infiniti on the road. All are at least 5 years old with random dents and dings.Infiniti drivers
