If you’re more concerned with shutting down third-party voices than holding the system accountable, then maybe it’s time to ask yourself who you’re really fighting for.
In 2024, in this election, I am exclusively seeking to keep trump out of the Whitehouse. Any viable, competitive candidate that is not trump is an acceptable alternative.
Emphasis on competitive. If the candidate is more interesting, but less competitive than Harris, then they’re out, as their discussion only risks trump.
Rejection of the duopoly is academically interesting, but cannot be brought about in a presidential election. It requires campaign finance reform, voting reform (no more FPTP), and judicial reform. None of those are available to stein or Harris between now and November.
Edit third party enjoyers would do well to focus their efforts on bringing about proportional representation, or similar, as a vehicle to platform their candidates such that they can effectively act on their positions.
I get where you’re coming from, and I respect your decision to vote for whoever you want.
But I won’t be voting for Harris or Trump.
For me, rejecting the duopoly isn’t just academically interesting—it’s a necessary step toward real change, even if it’s not the popular choice in this election.
