Chappell is right that both sides of American electoral politics are fucked. And there are good tactical reasons to vote for Kamala Harris.
But voting isn’t the only tool we have to change things. We can do a thousand things, we can organize and build power that forces change. The election is what happens at the end after we’ve done the work and changed politics.
someone needs to let her know the green party is probably on the ballot in her state. the only signals the corporate parties pick up on are votes and money. voting for the dems only reinforces their behavior.
I think it depends on where you live, in most states, voting third party is a good protest vote. In swing states the US election system punishes honest voting and it’s wiser to be strategic.
The US and every first past the post democracy needs to change to proportional representation if they are serious about being a representative democracy.
yea the problerm is the dems/repubs will never pass any meaningful voting reform that will rock the boat. everybody loves to talk about corporate monopolies until it comes to corporate monopolies on politics. dems/repubsare the same party, revolving door.
also the dems are not left, they are just left of the repubs 🙄 the progressive movement in the u.s. is dead i think. the fear mongering about a second trump presidency is played out. in that same vein about building other forms of power, a second trump presidency will probably wake people up.
