    I definitely agree, and there needs to be a time for this (my best thought is after ranked choice voting) but my point was more about right now.

    With just a few months left and with the media ecosystem we have there’s like a 0.000001% chance we get enough people to vote green or whatever 3rd party.

      but my point was more about right now.

      And my point is that it’s always about right now.

      Every election, we’re told the same old story: “Yes, things need to change, but not this time. This election is just too important. Look at what’s on the line!” But I’ve seen this game played out time and again. I’ve been casting my vote since 1988, and every single time, both parties sing the same tune: “Change is needed, but not today, not this time. Not this election.”

      I respect your right to vote for whoever you believe in, but for me, I’m done with this duopoly that’s been squeezing the life out of real progress.

      I’m done with being bullied into maintaining the status quo. I won’t cast my vote out of fear or because someone says it’s the only way to win.

      I’m voting for the party that truly reflects my values, the party that dares to challenge this system, no matter the odds.

      If we want to see real change, we have to start with ourselves.

      I’m proudly voting third party this year, not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary.

      I’m being the change I want to see. If you believe in Harris, by all means, cast your vote. But as for me, I won’t. My vote is for a future that matches my beliefs, not the fear-driven present that keeps us shackled to a broken system.
