... I’ll either find a party or individual I can support in each seat, or I’ll stay the fuck home...

that's why harris lost the election.

americans refuse to read and that results in this charade of a democratic system that requires us to vote democrat or republican; they will call you a fool for not playing along or actively standing up for your principals like a 3rd party vote.

like the abolitionists and suffragettes; it's going to take a generations long cultural shift for things to improve and i think that the biggest indicator is when people start to prefer reading over watching tv.
