Cars were stopped and chains were used to block traffic lanes on the famous bridge. Protesters also blocked traffic in Chicago, New York City and Seattle.
Seriously though, learn a tiny bit of history and political science. Look into the origins of the two-party system we currently have and the history of third parties winning the presidential election.
You should know very well that in a FPTP system, particularly the type the US has, additional political parties do nothing to help democracy. Arguably they make it worse:
30% vote for liberals and hate fascists
30% vote for leftists and hate fascists
40% vote for fascists
60% of voters hate the fascists, but they still win the election. This is exactly how the Nazi party took over a democracy.
You have to play big tent politics in FPTP. We need a ranked choice, parliamentary system before adding parties will improve democracy. And that happens by taking gradual control of a party and pushing it that way. It isn’t going to come from a third party entering the fray –
UNLESS, one of the the main two parties fractures away. And we are currently in a dynamic where Republicans are close to doing so. Firmly beating them in November may lead to a total breakdown of the party, and then Greens could attempt to assume their role as the second major party in the US. That’s the fastest way we can get to national ranked choice voting.
Oh. Hopefully you’re picking candidates with a chance of winning in your state and municipal races. But if not, you could skip the line and throw your ballot directly in the trash.
Only one of two people will win. Donald wants Israel to “finish the job.” Everyone abstaining or voting third party wll be doing a shocked Pikachu face when this genocide expands to other countries under a nakedly fascist administration.
Voting third party gives more power for the former president to win. I am not taking that chance. I think we have a better chance at working with the current administration to intervene positively after the election. If the orange menace gets in he will likely take the Israel/Palestine war to new levels.
Well, many of them voted for Biden and plan to do it again, for one thing.
As opposed to?
Voting for one of the three candidates who don’t support genocide
I agree. Most definitely working for Russia.
Come again now?
Stein, West, De La Cruz

I’ll let Carsie Blanton speak for me:

No I’d rather tell Genocide Joe to fuck off
I have you tagged as Kremlin shill, so it’s no surprise to see you here trying to get Trump elected.
“None of the Above” which… like it or not is a vote against genocide… not FOR Trump.
It’s not the voting populations’ fault that the judiciary is dragging it’s legs punishing Trump. Americans have ruined their country.
Only one of two people will win. Donald wants Israel to “finish the job.” Everyone abstaining or voting third party wll be doing a shocked Pikachu face when this genocide expands to other countries under a nakedly fascist administration.
I am voting for Biden. I sure as heck am not voting for the other guy.
I sure as heck am not voting for genocide. Fortunately, I have options: Stein, West, De La Cruz.

If Biden doesn’t change course, all the Palestinians will be dead from famine before Trump comes in to office.
