I understand what you are saying Landru - but the entire Electoral system (IMO) is so rotten to the core (from the bottom to the top) that any participation in it, at least for me, legitimizes to some degree - the system itself. And that is something I no longer wish to do, even in the smallest degree.

I do not see a third party viable other than a token Establishment non-entity - who the corrupt corporately owned Uniparty (Democrat and Republican) barely allows to play in the electoral race (with their toy car and pretend steering wheel) who literally has no chance of winning whatsoever, whom the MSM will ignore as much as possible - that sort of makes the farce of the Electoral process appear legitimate, when it is not legitimate at all.

If someone really wants to do something good for the American people - they could do a lot more (IMO) than legitimatizing the now very corrupted Electoral process. For example, they could like MLK Jr. did - organize people's rallies on the ground. They could start a political podcast to let the American people just how corrupt the system has become. They could start a substack etc.

Yes of course I agree with you on most of what you said of course there is this however coming ha, this time is truly unique not unlike Bernie's first run in 2016. Jill Stein has been gaining momentum and is on most state ballots now which is what kills most third parties. If Bernie having seen clinton receive the debate questions and the pre-selected party delegates had run third party he I believe would have won. Stein/West I think would be that unique moment again uniting class and race in a three way battle for voters. How could you not come out to vote for a blues aficionado like Cornel. I even got our spokesperson to send a donation ha. I do agree we are at that tipping point where this is no chance to fix this system without revolution. My friends at Revolutionary Blackout Network point that out in their commentary. Check out their podcast, they bring the heat. They destroyed Cornel ha.

Ha, sorry I'm a peaceful person ha. I do though think this is the most illogical situation in political history. Social media has revealed Genocide Joe to the world. Just a few elections ago we would not hear or see his dementia. Trump is a special character, I don't even know how to describe him other than an Accelerationist's dream. I will say people around me who haven't been interested in voting are paying attention. We shall see my friend, Nov. I will owe you an apology for having read that or you might publish a paper about a truly unique time we are in ha.
