Our ‘first past the post’ voting system makes that strategy very dangerous.
We need a third option but we need a better vote counting system to make that third option not throwing away your vote. The chances of such a reform coming from Democrats are slim, but the chances of such a reform under Republicans are less than 0. Several Republican-led states like Texas have preemptively banned ranked choice voting because it’s a direct threat to their hold on power.
Then you want election reform, taking the form of ranked voting. The US currently utilizes a First Past The Post system coupled with an Electoral College. The only outcome in this system is a 2 party dynamic. If you want a viable 3rd party, you want election reform.
Until the states push to amend the constitution, ranked voting (aka, instant runoff) will never become law as long as the 2 big parties maintain their stranglehold on our central government. They have too much to lose.
Currently the “progressives” are pushing RFK Jr as an alternative to Biden. 😂 And the Republicans have a bunch of women(and several men) who are lining up to suck Donny’s cock to get a VP slot.
Honestly, you’re not. You’re really voting whether you want to continue the democratic experiment in America or return to despotic imperial rule.
In a way it’s kind of cool that your voice will be part of an event that will certainly be in history books for centuries. It’s possible to be your only long lasting legacy on earth. Pretty neat if you ask me.
All American politicians are involved in turning the world into a corporate oligarchy. Trump and Putin just want be emperors in the meantime.
Hey hey hey! Let’s not bring racism into our ageism! But for real, 80 year olds do not represent me and my pals. They’re just there to preserve the status quo. Fuck em.
So maybe we need a third option. I don’t know, maybe a candidate that isn’t an evil geriatric white man that can barely finish a sentence?
i’m sure the US can manage to completely overhaul its political system in 2 years

Perot bring in there is extra funny since his idiotic shenanigans basically solidified that sentiment.

The democratic experiment is long gone, this country is a far cry from one where the people have the power

Don’t bring racism into our ageism.

They are okay with refusing to vote for someone due to age but not okay with refusing to vote for someone because of race
