1/ To those who think a response to the corporate Dems' dominance of the system, the party duopoly etc is to sit out the election or vote third party, I'd like to give my thoughts: 1) You'll teach them nothing by not voting. It didn't teach them anything in '16 & it won't in '20.

2/ The way to respond is to beat them at the ballot box. Unglamourous, nitty gritty campaign work.Yet is was rigged at the presidential level, but w/ down-ballots we've had plenty of opportunity already & progressives haven't always shown up the way we might: Romanoff in CO etc.

3/ If we really want political power, then we have to be involved in politics - not just comment on its injustices from someplace above it all. Yes, it's dirty. That just means we have to get dirt under our fingernails & help the candidates who would fix it if they were in there.

Once again we are forced to choose between the lesser of two evils when we don't need evil at all, yet people are too afraid to change the system which they've been indoctrinated into their entire life. #DirectDemocracy #GiftEconomy

Register Green Party, that will make the DNCC worry. Vote strategically. ie if your State is Red, vote Green, if your state is Dark Blue, vote Green, if your state is purple or light Blue, Pink, vote Blue. Send your $ to progressives where ever they are running.

You're one of the last people I would think to shame people for voting 3rd party.

Trying to hold my nose and just vote for "not Trump" but the Catch 22 makes me physically ill. Would be so much easier to just check out but I know that's what they want.
