    Our system isn’t set up that way, so feel free to throw your vote away, but please don’t convince others to do that. Some of us don’t have the luxury of indulging in protest votes.

      Who is this us you’re referring to?

      Are you a billionaire? That’s the only group the Democrats are actually serving. The rest get pretty speeches during campaign time and broken promises after the election.

      My vote doesn’t mean anything in a two-party system.

      We’re getting fascists no matter who we elect.

        You have a two party system because of your voting system. That’s why I said you should fix that.
