    First past the post voting in a two party system gives you a 99.9999% likelihood of a facist government this election IMHO The only practical action to enact change seems to be a mass general strike.

      Would you like to place bets on the chance of there being a 2028 election? I won’t even ask for 1:100000 odds, I’ll happily accept 1:100

      It’s a shit voting system. But the election is happening. How to effect a mass general strike large enough to change the voting system and introduce a new candidate with a chance of winning within two months?

      Because that is needed in order to safely tell people not to vote.

        Do both? I’m not saying don’t vote I’m saying the impact of voting is not enough to enact substantial change in policy.

      Congrats for destroying your credibility with “both sides” bullshit.

      Meanwhile, back in factual reality, the Democrats aren’t fascist and have more than a 0.00001% chance of winning.
