Joining the Face Eating Leopard party is a fucking stupid alternative. Pushing for rank choice voting in their local and state elections to normalize 3rd parties is what can change things.
Not supporting the face nibbling party does not mean you’re joining the face eating party, it means the face nibbling party needs to make real steps to stop nibbling on faces to get your vote back.
In a two party system where both options bad, voting against the option that wants to end democracy is your clearest route to one day electing a progressive. Not voting allows for one more vote for the guy that wants to end democracy to not be negated; to which point you’ll never have to concern yourself with voting again.
This really depends on what you mean by “not supporting” - are you speaking out against them, primarying them, advocating for better policies? I’m with you 100%… the issue is the camp that decides to protest vote Trump or not participate in the general election.
Our voting system is broken and in the general election your choices are Trump or Biden.
That’s not exactly how it works. People could get motivated to run for office and actually start changing the makeup of the Democrats. The leadership we have today stems from a very long of complacency. And our choices may be functionally limited to two groups. Their makeup isn’t so limited.
“Ha, you have nowhere else to go! We can do whatever we want”
Pretty much.

What a stupid system. No wonder America sucks.
The leopards eat everyone’s face if they win. And in a first past the pole election, sitting out helps them eat all our faces.
The leopards win either way.
Holding them to account is the only way to change things.
