    No, no, not all of us will.

    I’m done with them. I’ll either find a party or individual I can support in each seat, or I’ll stay the fuck home. Not wasting my fucking time if I can’t find someone that actually aligns with my views any more. Those circles will just stay blank, and I’ll only vote in local elections, and even that only if I actually support the candidate.

    Soap and ballot boxes have failed too hard.

      As the DNC is unlikely to ever allow that, and with no sign of approval voting ever being implemented to break the 2 party death grip, it would seem that the only option left is solving problems ourselves collectively with mutual aid and direct action, without waiting for the DNC to purge itself of corpos.

      … I’ll either find a party or individual I can support in each seat, or I’ll stay the fuck home…

      that’s why harris lost the election.

      americans refuse to read and that results in this charade of a democratic system that requires us to vote democrat or republican; they will call you a fool for not playing along or actively standing up for your principals like a 3rd party vote.

      like the abolitionists and suffragettes; it’s going to take a generations long cultural shift for things to improve and i think that the biggest indicator is when people start to prefer reading over watching tv.
