I am sharing my opinion, others can make their own judgements on how they want to proceed.
You are entitled to yours, I am sure shilling your political party is a priority to you but most of us just looking to shake things up. Voting either party is feed the troll, you like or or not.
Obviously things like this require generational shifts since voting for any of the critters provided now won't do jack shit for the working people.
"If only y'all plebs voted for my candidates, we wouldn't be here" logic never checked out. See Obama or trump for that matter lol.
Where the hell have I done that? Go read my comments. And pull your head out. I'm quite obviously no fan of neolibs.
Then actually DO SOMETHING! Because what you are proposing is doing LITERALLY NOTHING. Not voting does nothing. Even third party is mathematically doing nothing. You might not like that, but it's true.
If you want actual change, vote for progressives in local elections. Vote out the neoliberals one by one. And in the mean time, build alternative power, organise in your workplace, unionise, build mutual support networks.
"You vote, in every damn election you can, for the most progressive candidate that you can."
