To all the people who want to vote third party or withhold their vote, please tell me, when had that ever effected change?
This idea that if you hold your vote or vote 3rd party you're gonna teach the establishment a lesson is laughable. No, the system will go on without you and you'll just have even less of a voice/decision in the direction of our country.
There is a reason certain people work so hard to tell you your vote doesn't matter. You're all falling for it.
Edit: If you don't like the candidates you have to choose from then go out and vote in the primaries because there's about a 90% chance you're not doing that.
1854, with the generous assumption that the threat of party replacement hasn't influenced policy positions whatsoever.
So in today's elections, one might point to Democrats who are increasingly opposed to FPTP.
If all the people who are defensive voting decided to stop doing that, our current leading parties would not be #1 &2. Your presumption that we even consider your candidate is laughable. And you are not making a convincing argument to change my mind, at best you are triggering clapter in the people who agree with you, so I hope your motive is to actually just keep defensive voters in their place.
Plus you already believe going against society's establishment is worth doing, or why are you on lemmy?
