It will only work if enough people do it to rattle the current arrangement.

I am doing my part. Some day others will join. This a generation long battle and the only valiable option to influence the system.

Voting for either party is saying you are fine with the way the regime rules us. You are not going to get result by playing by their rules.

I think it would be more effective to start an election reform faction inside the Dems rather than abstain the vote for democracy against dictatorship.

"It will only work if enough people do it to rattle the current arrangement."

maybe. No evidence for that, though.

"I am doing my part."

"Some day others will join."

I'm not even sure what you're talking about. Bullying voters? Someday people will join you bullying voters? All your MAGA peers are in lockstep with you, you have millions of fascists willing to hold your hand.

"Voting for either party is saying you are fine with the way the regime rules us"

Incorrect, you have a naive, narrow, flawed understanding of electoral freedom.

I don't like the way the US government conducts itself.

That has nothing to do with choosing the better Presidential candidate according to my values.

This year, Harris will make a better President according to my values.

If Stein would, I'd vote for her. But she wouldn't.

Voting is valid, freedom of choice is valid.

Your bullying won't work here.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, read above.

or try a dictionary.

I don't think you know what that term means
