“I shall not go to the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no “two evils” exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say.” – W.E.B. DuBois (1956)
If this was posted a little after the election where one side is batshit crazy evil i would give it an upvote.
This is not an election where this rhetoric works. Not voting means handing power to fascism.
The quote is calling out the duopoly though, not just one or the other.
People can vote or not vote if they want to; that is their right as well. Third parties are an option, though.
Fascism is already here, with our police state and technofeudalism.
Third parties will not win a U.S election.
Reality is there will be another ruler and they will be either Democrat or Republican.
If the democrats do not win then America is lost. If Trump has one coherent message it’s that he is planning a total dictatorship ending the existence of elections and creating “a day of legal violence”
If the democrats do win then its the status quo of capitalist enshitification where we at least have a couple more years to protest the shit about our fundamentally broken society.
