I'm not voting in this election. I cannot support this two-party system.
Two-party system works whether 18 or 100 million people vote.
If you genuinely want to fight the two party system, join local action for ranked choice voting, and support local parties in local elections.
if you arent going to vote in the presidents election. wont stop you, but regardless you should be voting in all your local office positions because those directly affect you more than the federal government will.
even if its not politicians at the bare minimum vote on measures or lose your right to complain about taxes.
that's your choice but it might mean you get even less choice in the future
I'll be voting, but I do realize that even if the Republicans manage to dismantle the existing bourgeois democracy, that would have happened regardless of which way the election went, just like what happened in Nazi Germany.
The mechanism to oppose fascism is by no means voting, voting can help but it's less important than legitimately organizing against it outside the electoral process. Fascism has never been defeated by asking it to go away.
I already don't have a choice. I'm British and I live in the United Kingdom.
So don't vote for Trump or Biden. Vote for Jill Stein or Cornel West or any of the other non-two-party candidates.
