In a two party system that just means no political party will ever represent your interests. You’re giving up any power that you have to influence politics so that the “lesser of two evils” can slowly drag your country to hell.
Is the progressive change to the Democratic party in the room with us right now, post–2024 presidential election? It seems many believe the lesson is “drop social issues” when that wasn’t even mentioned at the DNC. They’re also adapting a harder stance towards immigration while not bulging on economic issues.
The party leadership is adopting that stance because they hate progressive politics more than they hate fascism. The thing is though, Americans are seeing who is out there speaking to them directly and who is actually putting up some kind of fight against the encroachment of fascism and who is just standing by and allowing fascism to spread, or in some instances apparently actually buddying up with fascists. It’s the progressives who are showing that they actually care about the people, while the mainline party leadership sits back and allows Trump to destroy the American state.
More and more Americans are going to have their eyes opened to who exactly is running their party and to whom their allegiances lie–that being the wealthy and powerful, not the people.
Don’t vote and force the party who gives lip service to representing your interests to actually step up and put their money where their mouth is! Any party who can only run on “we’re not as bad as the other guys” doesn’t deserve to exist.
I don’t know, nobody has ever had the stones to do it for long enough to matter. How has blithely accepting neo-liberalism’s theft of the 99%'s economic future been going?

Well yeah. Still doesn’t do anything to the “two” in two-party system.
So don’t vote and let the greater of two evils drag your country to hell faster?

How has that been working?

I voted based on Bernie Sanders’s recommendations given he is a politician actually trying to implement change.
I have yet to see any case where not voting has ever led to a system where people get what they want.
Oh no? Have you looked for any?
Yes.
