    That’s what you’re doing when you vote Green.

      … In places where you don’t throw your vote away by doing so

        You throw away your vote by voting Democrat and Republican.

        How badly do they have to fail before you stop doing so?

      No, you’re giving half a vote to whichever of the 2 major-party candidates you hate more.

        And you are actively participating in your own oppression, knowingly voting for a candidate when you’ve seen for four straight decades that either ruling party is going to make your life demonstrably harder.

        Do you like paying double for your groceries?

        Do you like that your rent is skyrocketing?

        Meanwhile they make hundreds of billions appear out of thin air for other countries’ wars.

  but every single election, you all insist to me that I have to vote for a capitalist as a moral imperative.

  Have you ever had the choice to vote anyone other than a capitalist?

    Yes.

    You can vote Green.

      Ralph Nader on Simple Capitalism

      “What the corporations have done is destroyed the principles of simple capitalism, that if you own something you have some control over it,” Nader said in a hulking, stentorian voice, belied by his now-stooped shoulders and 80 years. “Managers control the process and define their own mergers and acquisitions and corporate strategy without any shareholder rights, as well as how much they pay themselves.”

      Only by putting aside the bitter anger and acrimony that forces us to take sides can we break the corporate stranglehold over government and the economy, Nader said.

      You see, America hasn’t tried the correct type of capitalism. They’re stuck on Sparkling Corporatism, which is where all the problems come from.

  reagan, bush jr., trump. I wish that party could not win and election so that we could have the democrats as the conservative party and start making real progress on shifting left rather than their continual wins moving us right.
