    So what do you suggest we do about it?

      Work towards passing state level electoral reform in your state. Once more then two parties can be viable, competition will force the legacy political parties to actually attempt to represent people.

      I doubt they’d be able to make that pivot. Representation in exchange for votes is a purity test neither will pass IMO.

        Already ahead of you on that as an active member of my state’s ranked choice voting initiative.

        Well thanks for that I guess. Voting Harris and protesting against the genocide still seem like the most effective combination of actions with my very minimal power.

          Thats great, but you have to think about what happens after voting for Harris that will prevent this choice next election?

            The vote is necessary, but not sufficient. My vote is a short term strategy for harm reduction. Working towards actual electoral reform is my long term strategy for fixing things.
