What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

      Your desire to support the two-party system above all else is what leads to alienation, on the right and on the left. It’s you who is pushing the country towards a grand revolution, not me.

        The two party system is, it doesn’t need my support and your abstaining from participation will not harm it. The two party system will chug merrily along until Republicans end democracy.

          Your comments are contradictory. First you say I should vote, and then you say it’s pointless. Meh.

            It’s only pointless if you don’t care who wins. Voting won’t change the two party system, at least not directly and not any time soon. It will change who wins this November, and that’s a very important thing.

              Oh, I’m going to vote. But also my vote won’t change anything. Not a swing state, never was, minority vote. Meh.

                Not just President, there’s plenty of downballot races too. Congress is arguably more important than the Presidency, generally.

                  Right, same story on my end, stuck in the minority there too, always have been…
