They don't represent my best interests even a little bit. My state will cast all its electoral ballots for Trump.
I'm going to vote Green. If they get 5% then a hard left platform will be on every American ballot in 2028. That'll turn Democrats left. Or, a Justice Democrat jump ship and split the vote.
Ballot access '28 is actual leverage on the system. Better than wasting my vote on literally no change in the outcome while endorsing either of the fuckwads who can't even deliver lines.
Third election, same thing. Hoping the masses learn how their system works eventually.
edit: There's lots of down votes without explanation. This is why everything sucks: No one wants to learn and sacrifice anymore.
I vote left in primaries and Dem in generals.
If we get some ranked choice then it will be different. Until then, we gotta play it safe.
Playing it safe is how we got here, apathetic moderate.
Reckless accelerationism is the effective altruism of the left.
Bewildering, lukewarm understanding is the effective altruism of the neolibs.
