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

If you’re feeling disturbed by this rhetoric but you don’t want to vote for the greens, consider party for socialism and liberation. They’re running de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to Israel.

I'm getting real tired of all the posts full of people not able to imagine any other system than the current one that funnily enough only the US still clings to

You guys really treat politics like sports teams.

Get out there and vote third party all the way through. Force another party into the reckoning because voting democrat or republican is still eventually going to fuck you all over, it just varies the pace depending which one you chose.

Why should we talk about things that aren't implemented when speaking about real votes? I'd love if STAR or something was on place, but I'm not using that system for the election in less than a month; FPTP is the only way I can vote today, so it makes sense to talk about it on the lead up to the election.

Shit take, voting third party when one option is talking about being a dictator on day one is tacitly endorsing the dictator.

Doesn't working class cover women and minorities?

Or does Beyonce suffer with the rest of us?

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