You can choose someone else. A lot of people just say this same rhetoric and make everyone else feel hopeless.

You undertsand no third party ever wins under an FTTP system, because it is mathematically impossible

Meaning I can vote third party, or meaning I can choose a different representative of the DNC? Again, the DNC preselects candidates and pushes them forward, Biden has an abysmal approval rating and is still being propped up. Third Party voting doesn't seem like it will gain enough impact to take the presidency either.

Strategically speaking, voting for a 3rd party in the US system means throwing away your vote. Which means even less people are going to vote 3rd party and the cycle continues.

The 2 options must be REALLY unpopular in order for a 3rd party to even start to have a chance.
