I'll keep voting for the less evil option until I'm physically unable to vote.

As long as it takes until the youth voting rate matches that of the elderly and we get good options that actually change anything...
But that would rely on us getting out and voting instead of bitching online so I don't have much hope.
imagine how good the world would be if America imported the Australian style Westmister system.
You guys were voting based on "lesser of two evils" and not based on who you actually like?
I've always just voted for the guy I like best. I never felt that voting tactically was truthful.
If everyone was like me we'd have a nicer political climate, I think.
I'll keep doing that so you can feel free to join me in doing that until we reach the critical mass point.

In 2020 I voted 3rd party. No illusion of them winning I just wanted to vote in a way that could help demonstrate to the 2 parties that there's a important segment of Americans that they're overlooking.
If a third party gets enough of a percentile where they could decide if Reps or Dems win we might see them adapt to have policies that cater closer to the desires of that third party.
But what's more important is your local elections. The president is much less important in your life than your governor or mayor is.
Three elections ago.
