No, they’re right - the Constitution says the person who receives the most votes is President. With the added fuckery of the Slaver’s College, third parties have an unbelievably hard lift to get anywhere close to President.
It’s just not going to happen without a huge base, and there isn’t one. There never is. Just stunt candidates ripping people off for fun & profit.
The only way to get to huge is through small.
Woah. That’s, like . . . true.
I guess we should keep voting for the people who are taking advantage of everyone else then.
As everyone is trying to point out, not voting against them also works.
I mean, does it?
Is the goal to make things worse or so unbearable that society does a 180 and says "Oh man, maybe voting so the literally nazis don't win is a beter idea." or does society just get beaten down and beaten down? How long does real society change take? It took slaves what, oh 200+ years? How's Russia fairing these days?
By not voting you're actively encouraging things to get worse before they get better.
