A real solution is to do what the MAS movement in Bolivia did. It's not like many examples don't exist throughout the world.
Bolivia has proportional representation, not the 2 party FPTP we are stuck in in the US.
No third party will win in the US without election reform, which is only conceivably possible by voting against the right wing. Voting Democrat is the anti-genocide path. Again, unless there's some real new ideas.
Remind me what party do Biden belong to? Whig?
Bolivia ha organized labour that's able to coordinate things like general strikes across the country and massive protests. That's how MAS got in power. Maybe go read up on how MAS actually achieved power sometime, you'll learn something. Maybe even get some of them new ideas into that noggin of yours.
There you go, that's good advice, organize! Notice that it has literally nothing to do with your vote for President.
I very much do note that it has nothing to do with voting for the president. In fact, my whole point is that voting does not actually matter, and disproportionate focus on voting is precisely why people in US find themselves in the situation they are in.
You gonna bother explaining the MAS movement and provide a reasonable road map for how to achieve it?
