This is the best comment I read on the topic on Lemmy. Thank you for making a great point and not bluntly resorting to antisemitism.

So is the US and lots of other countries.
It's completely delusional to vote for a third party candidate in the US election system. The chance of winning is 0%. It won't happen. Absolutely impossible. The only thing it does is strengthen the candidate with the more committed voter base or in other words: the republican candidate.
If you had ranked choice voting or the president was elected by a parliament that is elected by proportional vote like in most of Europe, that wouldn't be a problem. It's not like that though. If you vote third party in the US, all you accomplish is making a Trump victory more likely.
Better kick the can down the road than slip and fall and fucking die.
I was asking what any of that has to do with the two party system
Maybe the primaries system is fucked up, but protest votes in the presidential elections won't change the system for the better either. Neither party wants to introduce a democratic, proportional voting system because both parties would lose power. I don't know how to fix it, i just know that getting Trump elected won't.
First of all what the fuck does Zionism have to with it. Keep your conspiracy bullshit. Second of all how do you believe you can personally influence whether or not the first past the post voting system may be replaced?
Not casting your vote for Biden is equal to casting half a vote to Trump, who will ensure there is not question left whether it actually qualifies as genocide or not. It will be horrible. Please vote Biden. Lesser evil means less evil.
I'm not sure how it works in the US but join the democratic party and vote for the presidential candidate you want to see. If it doesn't work out and you don't like the democratic candidate but said candidate is still better than the Republican, still vote Democrat.
You're entering a world of pain
Yet, people made the journey to Australia over 50000 years ago, long before they had developed agriculture, wheels or domesticated animals. There was no navigation or fancy ships. And they did in the hundreds. Enough genetic diversity to settle down for the next 50000 years.
We are very far from doing that in space and beyond our solar system it may even be completely impossible. But who knows what happens in the next 50000 years.
