You don't end the duopoly by voting third party. You end it by organising between elections. But it's so much easier to virtue signal now and then lay back on the couch for the next 3.5 years plus you get the smug sense of self-satisfaction!
Also the last democratic presidency has sucked a lot less corporate than previously.
What were you doing? Clearly you understand the faults of the voting system.
Let me rephrase that: why are you okay with people being underrepresented by the voting system?
Well we tried that by demanding proper primaries and putting non genocide candidates on the ballots. And we got called being Trump shills for that. We also got called Trump shills for saying Biden is clearly too old for office. If it wasnt for Harris to replace Biden, the race would already be over.
No one called anyone a Trump shill for supporting progressives in down-ballot elections. If you're just talking about the start of the presidential election cycle, that's too late.
Deine bisherigen Posts haben nicht gerade den Eindruck erweckt, dass du in diesem Kontext von "wir" sprechen solltest - bist du in den USA wahlberechtigt?
I have raised my voice to push voting eligble people to do so. Unfortunately the US has so much power that non US citizens also need to form opinions and raise their voices, as little effect it has.
