Its a bit of a cart before the horse thing. As fundamental as policy positions on things like economics, healthcare, education etc are, how the government is run and elected has to come first if you want any of that to happen. Like you can promote the most die hard environmentalist candidate, but because our system has lobbying and corporate financed elections, that poisons your efforts from the outset. You have to get rid of the lobbying first. I think our FPTP 2 party system is something that poisons any efforts on any political issue. Like i said id love to support someone with better political stances and voting reform, but i have to support voting reform first. And anyone that wants to outlaw lobbying too.
I agree, that’s what I’ve been saying…but if you want a better democracy you need to maintain the democracy. Biden losing means a risk of losing that democracy status. In this instance I’m not voting for Biden, as much as I’m voting against a dictator.
I am saying voting 3rd party is better than not voting at all. I’m also saying keeping USA sliding away from democracy is more important.
