I'm getting real tired of all the posts full of people not able to imagine any other system than the current one that funnily enough only the US still clings to

You guys really treat politics like sports teams.

Get out there and vote third party all the way through. Force another party into the reckoning because voting democrat or republican is still eventually going to fuck you all over, it just varies the pace depending which one you chose.

voting for a third party is fine.

I personally think it's impractical since the democrats have advanced progressive policies these past 4 years that probably dovetail with any third party candidate a voter likes, but any vote an American voter casts is a valid vote.

Third party vote is a protest vote to deny the regime legitimacy.

Voting for either party is a vote of confidence in the regime. It only makes sense to participate within this framework if you feel like you benefiting from the current arrangements.
