    Even small gains save lives, and pretending the Democrats are identical to Republicans is disingenuous at best. Don’t be immature, vote. Direct action can happen in parallel, but wasting your influence only enables your enemies. You’d be foolish to think otherwise, and waste time arguing against your own interest.

      Voting for democrats or republicans is against my interest while providing legitimacy to the two party regime.

        That’s great news for most Americans as they clearly do not share your interest. Democracy seems to be working.

        Your personal next step should be convincing others you’re right, if possible, not pursuing minority rule.

        while providing legitimacy to the two party regime.

        I don’t think this matters a whole lot when the two party system is older than you are.
