    People have been using your rethoric since Hillary v. Trump. It didn’t hold up then and it doesn’t hold up now, and the GOP won because of it. Gaining more 3rd party votes since decades, the DNC lost even with a majority vote.

    The system is fucked, with that I agree, and there is one party trying to change it and one trying to abuse it.

      we all know why dnc lost in 2016 people are going to be pissed if dnc claim to fight for democracy while fucking over their base. and that too for someone like Hillary ?

      i voted for her then, then voted for biden and in last four years it has became the most depressing decision of my life. seeing him smugly hug netanyahu and him getting a gandhi treatment in senate has completely shattered my trust.

      to be clear i am not some rich christian white guy who is not gonna be affected by trump, i am also of indian heritage as harris, a country which has also suffered colonial oppression as recently as world war 2. whats going on in gaza is thousand times worse and not something i can look over as a taxpayer and a human being.

      and dnc don’t want to fix this, they are happy with duopoly where they get to fool us every few years. look into jill stein record of why she left DNC. she was then fighting for coal workers working in cancerous air in mines while harris was prosecuting homeless and poor for petty crimes and advocating for harsher sentences. and now the dnc is using the lobbyists money to malign her with false narratives in a massive pr campaign.

        I hear you, in a system where votes are distributed equally and where a duopoly isn’t an eventuality, you’re absolutely supposed to vote for the party you allign most with. The current system does not permit this, causing a black and white world of politics. Not participating in this is your right, and with two regular candidates, we’d probably never have this conversation.

        One party has the rationality to change its opinion and work on mutually beneficial solutions, and the other party polarises the population, advocates for violence and creates lies and deceptions at every corner.
