    You completely ignored my point and just reiterated the same talking points.

    If you want to change the system, it’s not done by voting for a third party for POTUS. As I said, doing so is just vanity and does nothing to fix the problem. The problem is solved at the grassroots level.

    You don’t like the rules, neither do I. But the solution to changing the rules is not to not play the game, but to work to change the rules where the rule changes actually happen. Not playing the game just helps the least desirable team win.

      Nobody has said to skip the work of working from the bottom in state and local elections. People do support those campaigns and even when they do they have to fight against Dems and GOP locking them out of being choices there as well. The infinite loop of picking the nicer fascist isn’t doing anything as well.

        That’s the whole point: your goal to change how we can reasonably vote in the POTUS vote, does not happen when electing the POTUS, so expecting electing the POTUS to change this makes no sense.

        It has to come from elsewhere. While I strong disagree with the classification, you’re stuck voting for the “nicer fascist” less you end up with the worse fascist.
