There are differences between candidates within each party. And historically both parties have gone through drastic changes. You can vote for like minded candidates at the local level, the state level, and as they gain experience they’ll be better suited to succeed nationally and change the party as a result. But this requires you to actually vote. In every election. Always. And I get the sense that those who complain it’s a two party system the loudest are just offering an excuse as to why they simply don’t vote, don’t participate in our democracy. The people who run for national office in say, the Green Party, rarely have any government experience or real leadership experience. It’s just boilerplate slogans and a clear demonstration they don’t really know what’s going on. Why the fuck would I vote for that? Shit, I can say all the right things and run for President. But I would suck as president because the job is much more bureaucratic management than just saying shit out loud.

Aww, y’all hitting the down arrow instead of addressing what I said…. I have been put in maw place!

Mass protests have stopped. A handful of people meeting at a coffee shop or vigil is a stark contrast to bridges and roads being blocked, to school administration buildings occupied. The US is 330 million people and you get how many at a protest now?

And that website is all about Israel and nothing about forced relocations of two million people and the US annexing Gaza for development. But those aren’t Democrat proposals, so whatevs…

The protest $hill Stein voters still gonna claim the righteous high ground while excoriating Biden/Harris/Democrats even though every last detail of this story was floated by Trump and pals during the election.

And the “Free Palestine” mass protests have all but stopped since Election Day, movement leaders (who exactly were they?) having achieved their goal of disenfranchising Democrats (but ZERO protests against the Republican Congress that approved funding for Israel).

I was addressing those who say they won’t vote for the “lesser of two evils” as an excuse for pissing away their vote… but thanks

This is too abstract for most Americans to understand. But talk about it as much as you can; to friends, family, coworkers, anyone. As things get worse and the coup resorts to physical enforcement against resistance, people may start to get a clue.

And while I’m here, a hardy “fuck you” to: Trump voters, non-voters, $hill Stein voters! Oh sure, Harris was far from idealized perfection… But lesser of two evils is often all you can hope for in this world. Maybe start voting in the small elections -not just the big national ones- if you want experienced, alternative candidates to work their way up.
