The US has done some terrible things, genecide more than once. I'm not a huge fan of the Democrats either, but right now they are the lesser of the two evils and a pretty broad party. First past the post voting inevitably leads to two parties.
Saying both parties are the same is complete bullshit. Assuming you really just live in Hawaii, you can continue to spread your not voting nonsense and help the party that just elected a speaker that would be just fine forcing everyone to be a Christian and denies humans role in the climate situation. Speaking of that, this is a climate community. Let's not derail discussions with some unrelated political issues.
Sure things suck in a lot of ways. You don't think voting matters, what is your alternative?
