Because it’s a two party system and voting third party isn’t how you change that.
Good luck explaining electoral politics to accelerationists, their political philosophy relies on not understanding that their methods only ever lead to more and more pain. The whole point is to make things intolerable to the point of revolution. Which would be very bloody in this country.
You’re right things are so peaceful in America today. Children aren’t getting shot in schools, black people aren’t getting beaten to death, millions aren’t dying from poverty or preventable health issues, etc.
This is like arguing killing a ceo is immoral because it’s violent while letting slide the people they kill through policy.

And letting the greater evil win sure helps all of those issues, doesn’t it?
This is precisely the kind of apathy to civic duty that won 4 more years of Trump (but this time with house, Senate and a stacked Scotus!).
The thing with voting rights is you have to use it or you lose it. Pray you don’t lose it between now and the next one.
Lol, “civic duty”.
I’m not even American, homie. And believe me: even a less underdeveloped democratic system than the US won’t save us from fascism. Direct action and organizing will.
