...yeah I fell into that mental trap for a while too. And yeah, the two party system and FPTP leaves a lot to be desired.
But we gotta focus on the here and how, which is a party of obstructionists at best, and literal Nazis at worst; vs a party of science and rights at best, and kinda toothless / often uninspiring at worst. Voting for anything else, or choosing not to vote at all, is still accepting that one of the aforementioned two will win; you're just silencing your own voice and letting your countrymen decide on your behalf.
...and when enough people do the same, that's a great way to end up with fucking Nazis.
