stop voting for them

What awful advice. So don't vote and continue the slide, or vote for a third party sock puppet like the Greens?

No idea who the greens are, vote for someone that isn't a fascist or a genocide supporter, do not give them your support, they feed on your vote.

If they're not supporting this tier of "not even hiding it" genocide it's better to vote for a cum sock.

The American Overton Window is certainly fairly narrow, voting for change is the way to go. Join the Democrats and vote in the primary.

Push the window left.

This thread is about a blue president doing exactly what the 3 presidents before him have done and two of them were red. How exactly is keeping vote for either red or blue going to change anything? If you want anything to change at all the best option to do it within the system is to vote for a third party or to not vote at all, the more votes red and blue lose the more they will have to adapt and change their policies. Voting for fascists or genocide supporters who are pushing the window right by increasing military spending and enriching the rich is not pushing the window anywhere toward justice.

Because the American political system is a joke and there is more chance of an American President making a positive impact in the middle East than there is of one being unaffiliated with one of the two major parties.

So change who comprises the parties, the Republicans already did it to theirs and have successfully moved the Overton Window further right.

Red wants my friends dead, I have little choice but to ensure blue wins the presidency while I work for local change. Not voting is not an option.

Both red and blue wants people in the middle east dead. Instead of picking a group of dead people over another what about voting for someone that isn't a fucking murderer?

I'm not going to morally grandstand, I'm going to look out for the people I care about. You wanna throw your vote away to make a point, be my guest.

Voting might ensure that the situation might not get worse. You need to change the voting system to actually make a meaningful difference.

Edit: wtf are the downvotes for?

I don't know, that sounds like hard, thankless work that will take years of consistent effort, dealing with countless setbacks and losses but not giving up, before finally achieving our goals of making real and meaningful change. What if instead if that I just don't buy Starbucks, will that work?
