Y’know what? I’ll give you that. Not everything you post is carrying water for MAGAts. But everything political is critical of the American left, which means that, in a binary system, you’re helping the American right. You know that. Everyone that sees your posts knows that.
At best you’re an accelerationist (and I mean that in the most pejorative way). At worst, you’re pretending to be on the side of the working class, while doing the work of the capitalist class, and intentionally splintering the working class away from their best chance to minimize harm.

You are free to see it that way, but I am not for the duopoly, I am a 3rd party supportor, if no 3rd party I would not vote.

I would say that, that is what people that vote in the duopoly do already, for the past decades.
A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.
If you always vote for the lesser of two evils, you will always have evil, and you will always have less. - Ralph Nader
I am a 3rd party supportor, if no 3rd party I would not vote.
Say what you want, but we all know that a vote for 3rd party is a wasted opportunity.
A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.
That’s a tired, dumb argument, and you should be embarrassed to be using it.
Here’s another saying for you: “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of better.”
On on hand, you’re voting for a party that at best is going to pick up 3% of the national vote, and while doing so will siphon votes away from a Democratic candidate. (…Unless you were voting for Kennedy, in which case you’re still not acting like a leftist that has two brain cells to rub together.) A Democratic candidate, I’ll add, that has absolutely done more than any candidate in the last 50 years to fight for more and stronger unions than any other administration; if there’s no war but the class war, then this should be something that you’d be supporting, since it leverages the power of the workers against the capitalists.
Meanwhile, you spend the majority of your online time campaigning against Democratic candidates, while almost entirely ignoring the scope and scale of harms that Republican candidates can, and will, do if elected, and are doing right fucking now. Trump supports more, and more effective, genocide, supports shutting down the EPA entirely and cutting all efforts at mitigating climate change, is actively inciting hatred against non-Christians and everyone that falls under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, opposes religious freedom and pluralism, supports the wealthiest in their fight against the working class–because that’s his class**, and so on, and so forth. This ‘both sides’ nonsense isn’t even close in scope and scale, and but you’re pretending that it’s exactly the same because Biden still believes in American exceptionalism, still supports capitalism, and all that other garbage that’s just a part of living in the US and needing to win approx. 50% of the popular vote in order to be elected as president.
And lemme tell ya, bud. I live in a solidly red state. There’s no ‘winning’; there’s only harm reduction. You don’t win this fight at the national level. You win by organizing at the local level first and foremost, and then building a state-level coalition.
But you’re determined to let your perfection be the enemy of better, and want to ensure we’re all damned with you.
I would suggest to do a more thorough search, I also manage communities that are direct in what they stand for.
I share their stuff as well.
I am for the working class, not the owner class.
No War but Class War!
