    Then vote for independents, or people whose parties don’t pull that shit.

      And that is the problem with the 2 party system. No one votes that way because not enough people do. Instead everyone voted for less bad option between the 2 major parties. Which happen to be the choices the political committee chose, not the people.

      Yeah, you might as well not vote. You’re never going to sway enough people to vote independent to challenge one of the big two, especially since the choice right now is between old people or people trying to establish a fascist theocracy.

        Rewarding the groups that manipulate the system to hold onto power seems like a terrible way to enact change.

        Choice right now for president is between fascists and a reformed anti-lgbt bigot who remains friends with some of those fascists, seeing their anti-women, anti-trans, anti-lgbt positions as “disagreement.” I feel like we can do better.
