Being an enabler for the neo-libs/neo-con uni-party, election after election, because lets face it, there will always be a bad actor offered up on both sides, is a dead-end endgame. Do you have healthcare for all, affordable housing, free education possible? Spoiler, keep voting for them, and you never will.

In every election I've been capable of voting in my candidate didn't win the primary, and its always come down to two other clear options that could take it. One of those bags of shit has always been obviously and obscenely worse than the other. In local elections? Hell yeah. In primaries? Hell yeah. Senate races? Hell yeah. But at the finish line of the last few elections its moronic to not vote for whoever has the best shot of beating trump. I agree with you about most everything you've said and the rigged money infested political system here does need to go, I just think that in practice saying "both sides bad" on any presidential election lately is pretty foolish because the obvious worst case scenario is happening as we speak. What's your proposition for fixing it? what is your actionable response? How're you changing it? Did you cast a ballot?
