Nobody ever said you can't vote. Plenty of 3rd parties and independents at all levels.
That's just not voting but with extra steps. The US used first past the post.
And I'm sure the party that keeps winning due to this mindset is going to change the system, I'm sure their corporate donors would allow them to do that.
Definitely. /s
We can achieve a better system, there is nothing so exceptional about the US electoral system, especially the democratic party itself, that we have to confine ourselves to it.
No, they're not going to change anything. We have to do that, and we can do that while still voting. No one in this thread is even arguing against anything I'm actually saying, you included.
I have actually! I told you to vote 3rd party. Which is what I do. I vote for parties that actually reflect my interests.
And when they don't win I continue doing what I always do, party work.
