    The reality where we aren’t pro fucking genocide we just aren’t pro “throw our democracy away because we aren’t able to stop them from funding Isreal.”

    There is no reality where we get to have our cake and eat it too. We either get pro military industrial complex, or pro military industrial complex and the upending of our country.

    Not much of a choice. There is no reality where in the handful of months we have left we are somehow able to get everyone to go 3rd party… It absolutely fucking sucks but that’s why we hate money in politics and corporate media so much.

      We’re told over and over that there’s no other choice, that we must accept the status quo or risk everything. But by clinging to the same corrupt system, we ensure that nothing changes.

      The real power comes from breaking free of this false dichotomy and demanding a better future.

      We won’t get there by continuing to prop up the same broken system. If we don’t start challenging it now, when will we ever?

        I definitely agree, and there needs to be a time for this (my best thought is after ranked choice voting) but my point was more about right now.

        With just a few months left and with the media ecosystem we have there’s like a 0.000001% chance we get enough people to vote green or whatever 3rd party.

          but my point was more about right now.

          And my point is that it’s always about right now.

          Every election, we’re told the same old story: “Yes, things need to change, but not this time. This election is just too important. Look at what’s on the line!” But I’ve seen this game played out time and again. I’ve been casting my vote since 1988, and every single time, both parties sing the same tune: “Change is needed, but not today, not this time. Not this election.”

          I respect your right to vote for whoever you believe in, but for me, I’m done with this duopoly that’s been squeezing the life out of real progress.

          I’m done with being bullied into maintaining the status quo. I won’t cast my vote out of fear or because someone says it’s the only way to win.

          I’m voting for the party that truly reflects my values, the party that dares to challenge this system, no matter the odds.

          If we want to see real change, we have to start with ourselves.

          I’m proudly voting third party this year, not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary.

          I’m being the change I want to see. If you believe in Harris, by all means, cast your vote. But as for me, I won’t. My vote is for a future that matches my beliefs, not the fear-driven present that keeps us shackled to a broken system.
