Someone has to win the presidency in order to make changes.
As of right now, only one of two people has a chance of being president in January: Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.
That is true whether you vote against one or both of them. No one is going to say “hey, a some people are voting for various third party candidates this year” and make changes. Do you know how I know this? Because it has not happened in 100 years. Not even when a single third party candidate had nearly 20% of the vote.
It didn’t happen with Jill Stein last time or Gary Johnson or Ralph Nader or literally any other third party candidate you could name. Because they never change things beyond which of the main two parties gets to declare a winner.
That will certainly not change in a year when there is not a Ross Perot in the pack.
So, again, if that’s your way of achieving change, you will not achieve change and should get out of the way.
Edit: Come to think of it, Ross Perot did effect change- namely he effected change by getting the two major parties to pass laws in the legislatures they controlled making it harder for third parties to get on the ballot. I’m guessing that’s not what you want.
Except for immigrants, queer people, black people, Muslim people, and women. For those groups it is decidedly not the fucking same
But because the Democrats aren’t going to reverse capitalism and it doesn’t affect you personally, who gives a shit, right? Fuck everybody apart from you

It is a generational fight… It tooks generations after FDR to get us to this shiti conditions.
You are spreading FUD btw… Which is a bad faith tactic.
If trump gets elected, it will be about the same as ehat happened last time. Aka more enshitification. Thats just where we are going.
If kamala gets elected, believe or not, same thing lol
