Weird that you think voting third party will accomplish that.

Although I’d argue that now is definitely the time to vote third party locally, and independent for senate.

Once the Big Two lose their dominance in those two areas, it will be time to target congress. Then once that’s done and legislative reform is in place, it will be time to target the executive and judiciary.

I said it has the highest chance of accomplishing that. Not that it will without others also breaking out of the duopoly.

Neither main party will ever even pause support for Israel, both candidates have made that clear. Therefore there is no chance of them stopping the genocide or even reducing American involvement. In fact both have eagerly fought over who would aide this genocide more.

Therefore the only possible chance is voting third party or advocate for things against Lemmy's tos.

Or… take a longer view and follow the strategy I outlined.

The Palestine/Israel situation didn’t just start this election cycle; voting third party isn’t going to fix it, or even help the victims at all — in fact, it will likely harm them. But strategically voting over the next four cycles or so could go a long way to improving not just that issue, but many others.

strategically voting over the next four cycles

The wild thing is that you are being serious, unless we return strategically to its Greek root and create a people's army to solve the problem
