Voting for a better third party in our current system unfortunately just makes it more likely that the worse of the two genocidal maniacs becomes the president instead.
CAHSR at least is already under construction and has made significant, material progress in the last few years. Brightline West I'm less confident in, but CAHSR is definitely happening.
maybe but they're less cool than non-oil ones

More specifically if a woman they don't like does it. They like her in theory because she's white and attractive and straight and Christian and got her start as a country singer, but then she had to go and have opinions about things, so now she's a commie who's destroying America, or something.

"remove our 2A rights" is a weird way to phrase "regulating gun availability to make it harder for people who intend to use them to kill people to get them." you know the text of the second amendment includes the phrase "well-regulated," almost as if they did not intend for gun availability to be the lawless wasteland that it currently effectively is.
...All of them? That's literally how all of them work.
Trump became president by winning over enough Republican primary voters and then exploiting the electoral college's inbuilt favoring of conservatives.
For someone better to get in, they have to go through one of the major parties, and that means winning a primary. As such, by voting in a primary, there is the chance to actually stop a genocidal maniac from being put on the ticket in the first place. In our current system, that is unfortunately our best option. Voting third party in the general election in a first-past-the-post system that filters the popular vote through the electoral college is about as close as you can get to throwing your vote away without putting it in a literal trash can.
For the record, while this is the system that we live with and have to work within as long as we have it, this system is also total shit and we should absolutely abolish the electoral college and adopt a more parliamentary system like stronger democracies have elsewhere in the world.
