Brother, I'm voting against the party with the absolutely insane and oppressive declared policies. What are you talking about?
I'm happy for those people who have enough privilege to sit this election out; but to even try and imply that the two dominant parties are even similar is an insult when only one of them wants to fucking kill me.
There is plenty of black and arab people, who are at an immediate threat by Trump too. But if it becomes normal to murder them abroad it is also easier for it to become normal at home.
Trump and his followers are the ones fostering hate and resentment though. America needs a break from that jackass.
This is only true under a better voting system than first past the post. In first past the post, you've got a dumbass set of broken game rules where once two parties get big enough, they become the main and only characters, and all third parties can do is debuff one of them so the other one wins.
It's such a reliable thing that the two parties often try to fund third parties the other party's voters will like.
Obligate games blow ass.
Yo dude.
Worried about malicious interest groups funding 3rd parties? When we pass state level electoral reform, people would be able to vote how they wish, secure in the knowledge that their vote would still be counted should their number 1 preference not win.
I encourage you stop by my ask lemmy Post to discuss your post election commitment to replace FPTP voting in your state.
Then we wouldn't have to worry about buffs or debuffs at all.
