    So let me get this straight—you think a staunch socialist like me is somehow in bed with Trump? That’s laughable, and it just shows how deeply the duopoly has warped people’s thinking.

    I’m not even voting for Stein; I’m actually now casting my vote for a true socialist candidate.

    But I still support Stein’s fight to break the stranglehold the Democrats and Republicans have on this country. It’s amusing, really, how much people panic when someone dares to challenge the status quo.

    The fact that you’re so worked up proves just how terrified the establishment is of real change.

      That’s a lot of words to say you’re fine with Trump winning and you’re not planning on opposing him.

        Ah, the classic tactic of distorting words to fit your narrative.

        Let me be clear: my opposition isn’t just to one man, but to the entire corrupt system that gives us this false choice between two heads of the same capitalist beast. I’m not “fine” with Trump or any other servant of the ruling class.

        I’m fighting for a revolution, for real change that terrifies people like you who are so desperate to keep the duopoly intact that you’ll twist anything to defend it. You want to talk about “opposing” something? I’m opposing the whole damn rigged game, not just one of its rotten players.

          It’s not a false choice. It’s reality. You can either choose to oppose Trump or you can decide it’s fine.

          To be clear, I’m in a red state that has been directly impacted by Trump’s judicial picks and his MAGA extremism. I take personal offense against me and my family when people don’t do the bare minimum to keep Trump out of power.

            You can take all the offense you want, but let me be clear: I’m not voting for Harris, and I sure as hell won’t be voting for Trump.

            The real false choice here is being forced to pick between two faces of the same oppressive system.

            And for the record, as I have said, I am not even voting for Jill Stein. I’ve shifted my support to a more socialist candidate, Rachele Fruit, because I refuse to be bullied into backing a duopoly that keeps the working class in chains.

            If you think doing the bare minimum is enough to stop Trump, then you’ve already surrendered to the system that put him there.
