    I don’t live in US, but I certainly wouldn’t be voting for a party committing a genocide if I did.

        They can vote for whichever clown they want, but should stop pretending that it’s somehow meaningful.

          So you have no answer then.

          You come in here, yell and whinge that everyone is an idiot except for you, and you offer no advice whatsoever.

          Of what use is this thread? Or this conversation we’re having? You have not solved a single thing.

            The answer is that it doesn’t really matter. You are placing too much emphasis on your personal voting decision. This is a line handed down to you by ruling class interests. Voting could only ever matter as a block with clear interests and discipline. And even then it will be highly limited, you cannot vote out the root driver of dispossession and marginskization, the economic system itself. They will destroy every bourgeois electoral structure you try to use, and probably you, before you even get close.

            So acquire the knowledge and political tools that can change the economic system.

            I offered advice in this very thread, which is to study effective movements like MAS in Bolivia, and to emulate what they do to gain meaningful political power. Here’s a starter for you https://www.jstor.org/stable/43284846
