I am so so divided on if I should vote for biden or not. I wanna vote third party to at least do something or should I just stay home and protest and advocate where I can? Thoughts?

OK, you do this, get back to me when it accomplishes something.

Sure thing. Likewise, get back to me when your mental gymnastics finally fully sink America.

Bailing water while the hole gets bigger isn't accomplishing anything. It's wasting time and effort on the wrong thing to ensure the boat sinks.

This literally isn't true. You're supposed to bail water until the hole is fixed. You can't just do one or the other, you have to do both in tandem.

Not voting is simply an absolute capitulation. The voting system reform thing is already starting, labor organization is growing faster than it has in decades, state constitutions across the US are being changed for the progressive, even in red states like Ohio.

What has not voting accomplished?
