More like a vanity project of Enlightened Centrist (m/b)illionaires. They’re legitimately not launching a ticket because they can’t win, just like they said. So they’re not funneling votes from anywhere.

I don’t think anyone would argue third party candidates can’t be effective spoilers. I think that’s at least partially why they enjoy as much support as they do. But they’re not serious candidates for the office and anyone that votes for them is likely helping the party furthest from their values.
