      It actually isn’t. When you closing 3rd option/inaction predictably leads to the empowerment of the greatest evil, you have actually chosen the greatest evil.

      A legitimate attempt to minimize harm from your given choices isn’t choosing evil at all.

        Trump has done more to destroy the US hegemony than Democrats ever did. Going as far to threated to invade Greenland and destoy NATO.

        The lesser evil analogy only works if you don’t see victims of US imperialism as humans.

    America needs a change in the political system. However, I have no idea of American law and whether that is even possible with the current constitution. If it is, both parties have not shown any effort to democratize the country by allowing smaller parties to participate, but protected their asses. If that’s the case, enough pressure is needed to push for change.

    The idea of “democracy” is that all power comes from the people. I don’t see that in America.

    Never been a better time for a revolution. Just vote for someone that’ll create a better voting system, proportional voting like Australia so that it’s not this horrible two party bullshit

        Well what else are Americans gonna do? It doesn’t matter how bad you treat them, they just keep rolling over. They haven’t increased the minimum wage there for over a decade and people just don’t care.

          People do care, but the state doesn’t reflect the will of the people, but the will of the ruling class. In the US Empire, that’s the capitalist class. People will not get change by voting, but by organizinf.

            Any reason not to do both? Democrats are bad, but Republicans are obviously worse.

              If people actually organize, I don’t care if they vote or not. If someone’s only political engagement is via voting, then they’re doing little to nothing.
