We need another political party in power and the American people have been strongly clamoring for that. If we stand up and we stand together, we have the potential to change the direction of this country.

    You can’t change the duopoly at the top. Implying that you can is disingenuous. There’s just far too much momentum from the wealth class to make a difference there (right now). The best we can do is a bandage for the executive while we try and fix the legislature (where most of the power actually sits).

    Focusing too much on one office held by one person is what got us in this position far more than not voting for an also-ran candidate.

      You are correct, but if you are going to be involved in Electoral Politics, might as well and vote for the non duopoly candidates.

      I do mention the following, as well as include it in my account profile:

      We must not forget though, at the end of the day we can help humanity way more when we ‘focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach.’

      You are right though, relying on others to fix our problems is not healthy or with really small possibility to happen within the duopoly system.

      We must first start in our communities and continue the grassroots movements!
