      This is not a winnable situation. This is a two party system with a lesser of two evils option.

      But we cannot consistently remain on the edge forever. If we pass over that line. And we have trump next year, it will be our last election.

      We’ll either have a civil war and finally revise the system or end up like Russia.

      Alternatively we can stay on the edge a little longer and build up a different strategy. Maybe A third party that only runs non-president candidates nationwide. Running in off elections and non-presidential yearsto gain seats and national trust. Maybe reforming local laws to make PACS less effective to avoid situations like the current one.

      It’ll be slow and not ideal, but it’s a better chance at improving things then flipping the switch and having the dictatorship now.

      Either way Palestinians die because we don’t get a say in that. And to end off this little rant.

      Biden is enabling the genocide because his PACs have his hands tied. Trump would be cheering on the genocide because his PACS and his base would support him for it.

        I’m sure his PACs are also making him believe those obviously fake stories about Hamas. It’s time to admit you’re voting for a fascist.

          Theres the Fascist who will keep the veil of democracy on and avoid total outright Fascism or the Fascist who will burn democracy to the ground and have outright Fascism.

          Voting for anyone else is at best throwing your vote in the garbage and at worst voting for the greater of two evils.

          This was never an issue of “Voting for the good guy” that hasn’t been an option for as long as I have been alive. This is an issue of biding time to build up a strong enough third party, and we don’t even have a strong enough third party to have a presence in congress or the senate
