You’re truly ignorant on the matter it seems. You say we should make someone take better stances? That’s just dumb, if you don’t have a progressive candidate nothing you say as a constituent matters. As someone who has written, emailed, met in person their representative I have not once felt I was heard. Letters and emails were responded to with generic responses, in person I either got to ask a question which got a non answer or brushed off completely.
Granted, I live in red state so what I have to say matters less and is more dangerous to be let known publicly. There’s not much a lot of us can do to have our voices heard, short of a revolt. But I’m just going to keep doing what little I can in hopes that maybe we can keep chipping at the corruption. I’m going to keep campaigning and voting for representatives I believe try to actually help everyone, not just their chosen few.
Both Biden and Trump suck, but you better believe I’m voting for the lesser of two evils.
The hell are you even supposed to do with something like this? "Yeah I have mountains of evidence that my participation in the system accomplishes nothing but I'm still going to go through the motions!"

Obviously all western "democracies" are dogshit, but this sort of thing is really unique to the US.
My point that USAmericans are the most cucked people on the planet stands.
At least in most other Western countries you can vote third party and not feel too bad, and occasionally they can extract concessions
It's basically prayer. Civil religion in action.
