    This meme is pseudo-scientific without any understanding of objectivity.

    I’d vote for a ham sandwich if I lived in a magic place where it mattered. This sham democracy is why we’re stuck with worthless votes for garbage people. There’s no way to vote ourselves out of a fundamentally corrupt system.

        It is exactly what the people, this person doesn’t like, want them to do though! So clearly they are morally superior to those who choose a lesser evil, and work to push better candidates where it is possible, like their local governments, courts, and sheriff’s offices.

        I mean, it’s not like locking in a party federally, while pushing for close attention on the local level. Locking in a large amount of voting districts. Then selecting for further, and further, right wing options, for those positions, ever worked for the GOP. Oh wait, no, that is exactly how the ethno-state evangelicals formed both a death grip on the GOP, and the GOP a death grip on the government, despite being minorities.

      It is a sham democracy, but the votes do still matter. Worst case, we have a choice between half assed climate policy that at least acknowledges it needs attention, or climate accelerationism. We have the choice between half assed women’s rights, or women being pushed further towards being second class citizens. We have the choice between half assed protections for the queer community, or the continued dehumanization and harm towards the queer community.

      The list goes on. The two candidates aren’t equal.
