Well, the sad state of US politics is that you have a two party system in place, like it or not. By choosing not to vote, or voting some “protest vote”, you are going to help the side that wants to accelerate our decline to the bottom. And once we lose our elections good luck voting for change then. The problem is the Right has been playing a long game that doesn’t require morals or empathy, or even human decency. While the rest of the US is a wide swath of people from center-ish (Biden) all the way to are left-ish (AOC/Bernie), and trying to steer people with that wide of viewpoints isn’t as easy. Plus we constantly have people trying to both sides everything allowing the Overton window in US politics to be dragged further right with every election. Other than waiting out all these walking corpses running the show, I’m not sure we can get the ship back on course any time soon, but not voting Trump we can at least not sink it.
