Also, those who insist on political purity tests reveal themselves to be temporarily-inconvenienced-dictators-in-waiting.

I hope this isn't about leftists refusing to support biden/kamala in the US.

You didn’t have to support them. You just had to use your brain and choose the lesser of two evils. Like which one of these people is more likely to illegally deport me for exercising my first amendment rights? I think you’ll find the answer to that question soon.

Or maybe support someone who isn't one of the two evils

I keep doing this hoping the centrists will get the message and enact PR or else risk losing to the Big Bad which threatens us all. But so far I've been disappointed...

I only have my one measly little vote. They determine the entire platform and what policies get proposed. It's so unfair. I just want to vote for the representative who actually represents me without risking fucking feudalism. I'm not even asking for direct democracy here…

Our (U.S.A.) best option for that in recent history was Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election.

Thats still one of the two parties

Bernie is certainly a diamond in the rough - but don't ignore that rough.

He is an independent as a Senator. But you're correct in that he ran as a Democrat in 2016.

Here you are protecting conservatives that have a vested interest in the genocide of palestinians.
