Yup. And in the meantime, work to support the change to government that’s needed to allow third parties a chance.

those parties that spoil votes for the Democrats—the only practical party—the one we must all support lest Trump, Dubya, or whoever, wins.

​

Support Approval Voting, or Ranked Choice Voting, or whatever is being most successful at your local level.

and in exchange you support Democrat policies and the war on Gazans.

Lobby your representatives to eliminate the electoral college

You'll need a constitutional amendment for that, and the lower-population states will oppose that if the alternative to the Electoral College is merely a nation-wide popular vote.

What's next? Get rid of the Senate?

​

You said forget third parties. OK. Trump wants a 10% tariff across the board on all imports.

Presumably some environmentalists dislike Biden's 100% tariff on EVs less than Trump's 10% on EVs—not as bad—and might like a 10% tariff on cars that run on fossil fuels. A 10% tariff on smart phones might encourage domestic manufacturing, which is in areas that's more regulated, as well as reuse old ones.

With all this money supposedly coming in from tariffs, and offsetting income taxes, hopefully people will demand that he reduce the latter and/or or increase spending (without increasing debts).

Meanwhile, with those outside the US getting less US money—because they can't sell as much to Americans, because of the tariffs—exports will fall as imports will.

It's ebb and flow, Mr. Beal: a balance.

He’s said he thinks the Israelis agent going far enough, and should exterminate the Palestinians.

How worse has the GOP been on Israel compared to the Democrats?

He’s already cost women choice over their own bodies.

If Texans who were/are female and/or progressive voted Green Party instead of for Biden or Obama, their situation wouldn't be much worse.

Though I tend to be pro-choice, I don't think abortion is that big an issue either way.

Almost half of all Texans won't get pregnant because they are men.

perhaps 1/4th of Texan women are sterile and/or post-menopausal.

perhaps 10% are pre-menstral.

Most of the rest take contraceptives and/or engage in non-procreative sex.

Relatively few rapes lead to pregnancy.

Abortion isn't totally banned and it's legal in New Mexico.

Besides, a disproportionate number of the children born who'd otherwise be aborted will be racial minorities, Hispanics, and poor whites, and half will be women, and notwithstanding many leftists' hyperventilation, I figure a majority of these very young Texans will grow up to be Democrats.

​

So, yeah. Work for initiatives that will allow real change; and in the meantime, swallow your gorge and vote for the lesser of two evils, because that’s the only kind of vote that counts.

The lesser of 2 evils is still evil: vote your heart and your conscience (or someone far more close to it).

Besides, a second Trump Presidency might be what Americans need to smarten them up.
