This isn’t a two party system. The only thing that makes it a two party system is YOUR continued support of the same party over and over again. If you’d stop doing the same thing over and over again we wouldn’t be here. I’m doing my part, you aren’t.

Yes, it is effectively a two party system. Until the day that all parties have an opportunity to be treated equally, that will be the case. You know this. Why do you pretend not to?

That’s on you bud, not on me.

Yes, it’s on me and hundreds of millions of people. Most of which are unreachable with your canvassing and a huge percentage of which are needed to make any positive difference whatsoever.

Unfortunately for you, empowering trump and Israel is on you, because you can easily see that your actions empower them. It doesn’t take a soothsayer to know that Stein will get way less than 2% of the vote, 2% that will help trump but gives her zero chance of winning.

You won’t move the needle toward third parties but you will be responsible for death and suffering, and then you’ll say it was not your fault even though you did something you knew would lead to death and destruction. But you didn’t care, did you?
