voting for a third party is fine.

I personally think it's impractical since the democrats have advanced progressive policies these past 4 years that probably dovetail with any third party candidate a voter likes, but any vote an American voter casts is a valid vote.

I voted early in Wisconsin. There's a ton of 3rd party candidates. I loved seeing it. Democracy is safe here.

It really is as simple as that. We’re voting to retain the right to vote in the next election.

not trying to start anything. Not even American. But I think Donald trump will win this one. Just because there's so many crazy trump people. I love the people here at lemmy but this is the only place I see people talking shit on trump. Almost everywhere else I go it's crazy trumpers and they are all avid voters. I hope Harris wins for the good of humanity but I just don't think it's gonna happen unless a bunch of young people actually go out and vote. It's the south park turd Sandwhich giant douche thing all over again anyway. We're fucked.

If you vote for Republicans or Democrats, you're supporting the same duopoly that got us to this point. If you're terrified of Project 2025, keep in mind the Republicans will eventually win again, even if not this election.

If you're not in a battleground state, the easiest longterm solution is to vote 3rd party. This is the tactical decision to gather support and break the duopoly, without increasing Republican win chance since your vote won't affect the election

Dangerously stupid.
