    Ok then, so what’s your solution? I’m still gonna vote for the lesser evil, while still organizing and doing direct action, to reduce harm unless presented with an alternative.

    Maybe a candidate that’s good? You could run for an office.

    Edit: essentially I mean for the situation at hand, especially with this upcoming election, what else can we do?

      The solution is Ranked Choice Voting. Anyone can run and voters rank all the candidates. So if you put Stein (for example) first and she doesn’t get enough votes, your vote then goes to your second choice, and so on. It lets you vote the way you really want it to go, not just strategically.

        Ranked choice/instant runoff voting is not doing a lot for Australia. The “left” major party is centrist at best, the “right” major party is drifting further right and the only minor party of note is basically Nazis.
