Look. You aren't very smart. That's ok. You can change that if you want to. Allow me to explain to you how reality works.
In actual reality, unless you want a revolution (that isn't happening), you have to vote for the less shitty option to reduce harm (like we're experiencing RIGHT NOW), then work to reform that less shitty option by voting out the reps that aren't onboard with more progressive policies. This has been done numerous times throughout U.S. history and was just done, in the worst way possible, to the Republican party by conservative voters over the last decade or so.
And, just in case you're foolish enough to believe a random no-name 3rd party candidate can randomly win the presidency despite being a relative unknown whose party has exactly ZERO representatives in Congress, let me tell you, because you're probably completely clueless, that in 2024, the 3rd party candidate with the MOST votes got a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast, PROVING that no 3rd party candidate stands the remotest chance in hell of winning the presidency and that a vote for one is a vote flushed down the toilet and a pass for the shittier option to step into power, WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO.
Seriously bud. You've got a brain. Start using it.
