    Genocide is happening either way. Only option for american peasant is to go into opposition to the two party regime.

      Voting 3rd party in this election isn’t the grand protest against the 2 party system you think it is.

      Organize. Build a coalition. Those are great things to do to oppose the regime.

      Voting third party or not voting aren’t opposing the regime. They’re telling the regime “I don’t care whether you’re a little bit evil or very evil.” Harm reduction comes by voting for the lesser evil in the ballot box. Opposing the regime comes in actually building a coalition for less evil, not advocating for actions that’ll make the more evil option more likely.

      Someone who’d go as far as calling them the “American Peasant” probably doesn’t know enough about their interests to be talking at them about what their interests as a class are.

        We know what we are: wage slaves. Other than being technically ahistorical, “peasant” is close enough to what we are: the oppressed class. I don’t see a problem.

          How do I just know you wrote this on a $3,000 rainbow-LED gaming rig you bought with your parent’s engineer wages?

            You are no Sherlock 😂 I’ve been working as a software developer since the early ’90s and am more than old enough to join AARP.

        What an amazingly privileged response.

          Calling out the inherent privilege carried by those who’d feel comfortable letting the republicans win to “teach the establishment a lesson” is not, in fact, a privileged response.
