True. Why would they give up their monopoly? It’s a crappy situation, but if Trump wins—you’ll never get to vote again.

Let me get this straight: I have no choice but to vote for Harris so that I can vote. It seems the right to vote has already been stripped.

If you want to vote in the future, you better hope Trump doesn’t win. I know the concept of limited choices is disappointing, but that’s reality—and while I would love to see additional political parties have an equal chance, that’s not the system we live in.
