Refusing to vote just lets people who do vote decide your fate. Refusing to vote for either major party candidate as a protest just means that you're okay with either one winning.
You might disagree philosophically, but I'm talking about the reality of what is going to happen. One of the two major party candidates is going to win. If your conscience tells you to vote third party, then sobeit. Just understand the potential consequences of that decision.
I didn't even know that there's radical left within the Democrats. I would start trusting AOC, Rashida and Alejandra Caraballo.
Yes, American fascism will definitely help the Palestinian state
Then vote Dem and join a radical militia unless your actual goal is to just screech impotently online.
MFW my fart cloud finally hits my nose
Its always some dude with an anime pfp
nice dude yea that will show them for sure
Then vote third party. The US will continue to get worse by voting "lesser of two evils" until people with functional neurons start voting for third.
While I agree, maybe the time to vote third party is not when one of the major candidates has stated their interest in being a dictator (but just for "one day").
People with functional neurons understand Duverger's law.
Libertarians will be thankful for your vote. It won't change the 2 party system yet, but gotta start somewhere.
A vote for libertarians is effectively a vote for dems/reps, whoever you support the least. That's the beautifully broken part with "the winner takes it all"-elections.
