    but if that’s how you feel about the national level you may as well just not vote, since it’s inevitable anyway.

    You’re right, and that’s becoming increasingly clear, which is why millions more skipped Election Day in 2024 rather than miss a badly-needed days pay. That’s not their fault nor mine, but it is reality. There is no reason to vote when both parties do exactly the same shit.

    It’s going to become even more clear after the 2026 elections when the major provisions of the BBB kick in and the new international trade deals, rerouting supply chains around the US instead of through it, come into play.

    Unless you’re a billionaire, you have no power outside your zip code.

      Good, at least you’re honest about it. While I may disagree and think even a protest vote is better than a protest-nonvote, and that if everyone organized behind a third party then it’d go a long way to (if the election then gets stolen blatantly by the two) having a more organized structure for resistance in place, at least you’re not one of the people I’m talking about who just buries their head in sand in support of the “lesser” instead burying your head in the sand in support of nihilism, which is better.
