Which is orders of magnitude better than a conservative pile of goo that actively wants to inflict as much suffering on you that is humanly possible. Which is very loved by a median voter for no good reason whatsoever
Between the preferences of the machinery of both parties, media ownership - including web companies, increasingly militarised police, ai + agents having the potential to effect the kind of 1980's de-industrialisation on the middle class, and the rise of a surveillance state that would make the stasi blush, voting for the lesser of two evils isn't going to do it any more. The lesser of two evils, both complicit in the construction of the explicit oligarchy America how has, is responsible for this.
You might extend the fuse a bit, but that will result in a bigger bomb. If it isn't too late already, you need to look to the likes of Sanders. Or you need a No Kings protest every day, or as often as possible. Or a permanent Occupy Washington, which I think would come at serious risk of harm for the participants. It is critical now for America's future.
goo is more human than robot. there's a reason why neolibs lose elections but Trumps, Mamdanis and Bernies win, and it's not populism, it's ideology.
Bernie lost popular vote two times in a row.
Bernie won plenty of mayoral and senate elections, as well as many states during his primary campaigns.
Almost like the nominations were rigged and the media hated someone who would ruin the rich who own the media's income.
