    that’s a load of shit… you have exactly 2 options to vote for in an FPTP system, and that’s just game theory and maths… you can be RIGHTLY pissy at the system, but it’s the system you have to work within until it changes

    complaining that people don’t vote third party in the US is like complaining that gravity stops you from flying around the world by just jumping: you’re right, it’d be great! but that’s just not how reality works

    and blaming people who are largely pulling in the same direction as you (ie away from the far right) is counterproductive to shifting left (and let’s be clear here: we’re not talking about actual left in the US: that’s a long way off; but not far right is still further left than the racist shit sandwich you have right now), and is so straight out of the election rigging playbook that your motives are completely in question, or you’re just wilfully ignorant of how your electoral system works (but ignorance here is still hugely dangerous: this is how you get the world more trump)
