Naivete at it's finest. Reality is that the choices available to you will never conform to all of your desires, so in that sense, a choice is always going to be for the lesser evil. If you think there's an action you can take to avoid making a choice at all, then reality will disabuse you of that notion as well.
It’s naive to think your only choice is to follow a binary option given to you.
No part of my statement said there were only two choices. It was in regard to all choices.
But in the context of this thread, the general election will only ever present two choices. (So vote in the primaries.)
Agreed, unless the system itself is changed, at the state level, within each state, to use a different voting system. Which is worth pursuing btw, and something Alaska and Maine have both pulled off.
I’m so tired of seeing people getting mad about the two party system, but not even bringing up the fact we can totally change the system to use a form of Ranked Choice Voting, just by getting signatures to put it on the ballot! Well at least for over half the states this method works.
People’s energy would be much better spent advocating for groups like the Equal Vote Coalition or Fair Vote. Both of those groups desperately need volunteers and could actually use the social media advocacy given they are getting single digit support on Fediverse sites currently.
That is literally how the U.S. election system works. It’s naive to think you have other options. You’re just an unrealistic idealist accomplishing nothing.
