True, however, and this may come as a shock to some folks, this is not a problem that’s solved by not voting or throwing your vote away on a protest candidate.
It is solved by being consistenty and proactively involved in local politics, and voting in reform candidates at the local and state level, over a long period of time.
Also adding primaries are important. You want a candidate out? Get involved with their opposition at the primary phase, but don’t just rage quit when your candidate loses. Vote for the party that’s not actively trying to subvert democracy, and then primary that fucker again next time.
Yes, always vote. The electoral college system ensures that there can only be two parties. That is why it is one of the few points of agreement between Democrats and Conservatives not to finally abolish this system.
So it’s just a choice between the lesser of two evils - but the greater evil is indeed profoundly evil, as the last 100 days have shown.

Unfortunately, it’s also not solved by voting for either of the two existing candidates.

Sure didn’t. I’m not sure how it’s related to what I said
