It’s not a 2 party system, it’s a corporate uni-party and they’re all being paid by AIPAC to let the genocide continue. It’s disgusting, and for this reason alone I won’t support either of those parties. If either party cares about politics at all, more than their donor money, then a sizable vote for green/PSL should register with them and force them to adjust their campaigning in ‘28, or else they’ll lose power rapidly as 3rd parties gain momentum. From this perspective, which you clearly don’t understand, voting for either R or D is throwing a vote away. Voting for a better alternative is not giving a vote to Trump, that is the simpleton turd sandwich framing which you’ve just desparaged. This blames voters, and it’s wrong - Biden is losing these votes all by himself.
I’d like to briefly address your last comment as well. Democrats have had numerous opportunities in the last 20 years to codify Roe into law, and they chose not to do so. Instead, they wanted to fear monger over republicans taking away women’s bodily autonomy and fundraise off of it. All the while, manufacturing consent for the republicans to do just that. It’s very leopards ate my face to act surprised about this, and disingenuous at best to claim democrats are some kind of women’s rights champions. If you’re at all interested in a leader who will actually safeguard women, cis or trans, vote for Jill Stein this November.
Imagine being so privileged as to be able to just deal with 4 years of Trump in the hope that somehow the message heard will be “oop should’ve given us a better candidate, Dems!” and not “well fuck we’d better go even further right to keep up”.
Imagine being so privileged that you don’t already live in a state where all the things being fear-mongered about to support Biden are already happening.
Imagine being able to prosecute Trump 3 years ago, but waiting until ‘24 to try and make it political (and show your hand that you were never serious about holding the elite accountable to begin with). Keep “looking forward, not backward” and never learn a damn thing.
There won’t be a sizable vote for the third party, though. Stein got 1% in 2016. That’s a rounding error. There will never be a sizable vote for a third party as long as we have FPTP.
They don’t give a shit about third party votes at all. The only thing that would actually get their attention is young adults consistently and reliably coming out to vote in every election.
Hopefully you are able to vote again in 2028. I know mommy and daddy’s money must be sheltering you from needing to worry about losing your rights, but the guy has already done one insurrection. It is actually looking pretty grim.
Voting for a better alternative is not giving a vote to Trump
Incorrect.
First Past the Post says fuck you, and First Past the Post is the reality. Until we change the voting system, third parties will never gain momentum. It is statistically impossible. You may as well get hit by a meteor while turning in your winning Powerball ticket.
Oh, and nevermind that if Trump wins, none of this will matter. All future “elections” will be won by a Republican with 110% of the vote

Imagine being so privileged that the marginal difference between Trump and Biden even makes a difference to you.
