      I’m going to vote for Harris because Trump is an existential threat to the US and the tiny shred of actual democracy we still have left, but I’m getting really damn tired of having a choice between the conservative party cosplaying as liberals and the fascist party cosplaying as conservatives. First past the post may very well be the worst choice in the history of the US in terms of damage it has done to this country.

        You’re not wrong. Please continue to spread the word with everyone you know.

        Feeling like you’re always voting strategically, feeling like your vote doesn’t matter especially in a deep red or blue state, or so much money in politics… Campaign finance / election reform is the number one issue.

        There needs to be a growing grassroots movement state by state to push for a new Constitutional Amendment.
