Until we have ranked choice, this is just splitting the vote. The energy is better spent catering to a liberal candidate and then attempting to usher in change through them, including overturning the electoral college. Any attempt to gain the White House through other means only weakens the movement.
I don’t feel that democrats and republicans will ever allow ranked choice to happen.
I mean, take other, less polite means, if you feel you’ll have more success that way, but there isn’t any way into an elected position that doesn’t run through one of two doors.
Sticking to the “two doors” mentality is exactly what’s keeping real change from happening.
And we’ve had a lot of time for those two doors to get something done. It ain’t happening. If we just keep walking through the same two doors, we end up with the same results, over and over.
Sometimes we gotta push back against the status quo, challenge the system, and open new doors.
I’m not sticking to a mentality, I’m identifying the problem. Putting a third party candidate on the ticket isn’t some novel approach, we’ve been doing it since the beginning, and in over two hundred years it never worked. There isn’t some prophecy about a chosen one that we are waiting for. It just legitimately doesn’t work. We have to change the way things are done, and that means putting pressure on elected officials–the ones that can get elected–and making them see the positive outcomes that change can bring.

That hasn’t happened so far. I’ll stick to voting for my socialist candidate this year.
That’s your right.
Thank you! And I definitely support and respect your rights and opinions too.
At the end of the day, we all should vote how we want to vote. Just as long as we are voting! Thanks for the comments, friend.
