Thecoli really wants to waste a vote on a third-party candidate. I do wish we had a viable 3rd party. The way we elect presidents needs to change.
My brother, I'm saying people should vote. It's literally in the title. I'm suggesting THIS as the alternative to "no tangibles no vote" if you feel strongly about reparations, NOT voting accomplishes nothing.
Voting for a third party at the very least shows that you actually care about the issue. If someone asks "why aren't you voting for a Democrat" you can then say "because they have not mentioned reparations in their platform. I'm voting for the party that has"
My God, the media ecosystem has completely stunted the imaginations of so many of us that people literally cannot imagine voting for anyone else other than the existing two big parties or not at all. To tweak an existing phrase:
"It is easier to imagine the end of democracy than the success of a third party"
