I’m not from USA by the way.
But you need ranked choice voting or equivalent for your vote to mean anything at all when there’s a few dominating candidates
You throw away your vote by voting Democrat and Republican.
How badly do they have to fail before you stop doing so?

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.

LOL
That was helpful. Thank you.

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.

So how about that investment in IRS to get rich people to pay taxes, student loan forgiveness, etc? Doesn’t count? Why?

The Democrats aren’t going to make any meaningful changes to tax policy. They’re wealthy too, you know.
I suppose his half measures are nice. It is a bummer that he’s not doing more considering he has the authority to act unilaterally, and has used it previously. But when you expect nothing, like I do, half measures seem better than they are.
Even so, Biden is a terrible president.
He’s done nothing meaningful about the cost of living crisis. Education and health care are still unaffordable for the working class and poor. This, more than anything else, is what’s going to get Trump reelected.
Roe is gone, and Dems’ response was to fundraise off of it and do nothing else. Idaho even got away with criminalizing abortion, which means 2/3 of the states will do the same in the next year.
Biden’s openly aiding fascist apartheid in Israel with our money. He’s also aiding homegrown fascism in America by helping to militarize cops even further.
Homelessness grew 12% last year alone. The cost of living crisis should be Biden’s main focus, but all he seems to care about is finding more money we don’t have in order to fund other countries’ wars.
