I’m leaning towards voting 3rd party. For who I want to win. If there even is anyone. Neither of the duopoly parties are winning or earning my vote at this point. And not even because of the subject of this article, but like I get it. And even if I do vote 3rd party, or for the lesser evil walking corpse, my state will still vote for trump. Again. It doesn’t even matter. What even is this system. How do we effect change then? By just not voting for trump and sitting on our hands except posting on lemmy? Rhetorical, but man I don’t get it anymore.
The real answer is to vote local, get involved, if there are no good options run or find a decent person who is capable of running. Either way, support the campaigns of those decent options, do a little volunteering. Change happens from the ground up. Changing the whole system at once is impossible, slowly spreading change from the local level shows other disenfranchised voters there is a chance, and it picks up momentum from there.
Throwing away your vote is a sure fire way to make things worse. Vote for the candidate that has the highest odds of winning who will make things better, or at least not worse. Just because you don't like the candidate on the "left" doesn't mean they're not the one that will objectively do the least harm in office. Letting Trump or anyone else on the right in office is objectively bad on so many measures.
Voting third party is morally reprehensible. Even if it makes you feel better, it's worst for all of us. Don't be selfish.
