I see your point, but going for the worse option so people wake up is rather bold.
And at least I can’t do that with good conscience, because I’m a white cis man, I’d be the last person to really have any consequences from that. And I can’t gamble the safety of other groups like that.
I’m not saying be complicit. Strike, protest and riot. Make your voice heard. Call for a parliamentary democracy, whatever.

I don’t know where you got that reasoning, I never said it.

As a fellow white cis man, not only are you gambling with the safety of other groups by voting for the Democrats, you are losing that gamble on a daily basis. When the Dems have been in power, they’ve been kidnapping, torturing, mass deporting, etc marginalized people all the time. They also help and enable the Republicans. They aren’t fighting against the Republicans, they are on the same team, building out the same system.

Sure, but know that the Democrats stand side-by-side with the Republicans to stop that type of action from being successful.
Republicans are currently leaning pretty heavily towards fascism, and Dems still make things worse over time. But other parties won’t get any seats. So who would you vote?
I generally vote Green, but, as little as I know about them, PSL looks OK too.
But other parties won’t get any seats.
I don’t fight against fascism and it’s supporters because I think I’m going to win, I fight against fascism and it’s supporters because I think it’s evil.
No worries, I used to support the Democrats! But that was before I started actually paying attention to politics and following the news. As soon as I did, it became clear to me that they were just wolves in sheep’s clothing, and are almost as bad as the Repblicans.
Not knowing things is fine, as it gives you a chance to learn and grow. It’s chosing what to do with the new information that matters.
Online dialogue tends to disuade from that, and often pushes towards polarization. I apologize if I was overly polarized, as I often get attacked from people who refute information, instead of internalizing it.

I know the Dems suck, I just don’t think you’ll be able to vote your way out of this shit.
But I’m not American, so idk the intricacies of your system. What would you say is the best way to get away from the 2 party system?
Oh, yeah, 100%. I’m not saying voting is all you should do at all.

It’s going to take a revolution
So who would you vote for?

Fair enough. I guess I was too polarized from my time on reddit to consider anyone voting something else. Thanks for giving me perspective
