  • Sorry if the following makes little sense, but your comment is interesting and I am quite buzzed on my evening off.

    In terms of outcomes, I don’t see the difference between someone not voting and voting third party for president in a first past the post system. If you throw away your vote, it’s the same as staying home.

    I think the best way to move a party in a direction is to have the right people join the 2-party system and change it from within.

    That’s done by winning primaries. AOC primaried the Chair of the fucking House Democratic Caucus and has been campaigning left very publicly since. Asa Democrat, not a more Left and irrelevant party.

    But they also have to be able to win general elections, as we saw many of the craziest Trumpers in 2022 win their primaries, being ideologically what their base wanted, and get their lunch eaten in the general election.

    Drunk TLDR: Work the two party system, don’t scare the normies and sink the boat, slow boil the country into a brighter future
