    You vote for the least bad option, and start doing the grueling grassroots work to make the options less bad

    Eliminate the electoral college Ranked choice voting Eliminate the senate or make it propprtional to population Expand the number of house seats Expand the supreme court Public funding for elections Media that is not advertising driven Unions! Coop employee owned companies

    Do these and start building something that doesnt suck

    You can’t. Vote for whoever you want, but we’ll never stop bombing children. I’m not voting for any pro genocide candidates, but I don’t really care if you do as long as you don’t pretend that’s not exactly what you’re doing.

    vote with your feet.

    If you choose to live in the US and pay taxes, you’re choosing to contribute to those atrocities.

    If you choose to live outside of the US most of the year, you are not required to pay US taxes up to $125,000 and are not funding those atrocities.
