You had a choice OP

  1. Vote to maintain a bad status quo
  2. Vote to make things a billion times worse via fascism
  3. Start a revolution

Instead you chose secret option d. Make 'both sides equally bad' memes to justify the acceptance of fascism.

Always vote against the fascist. Or revolt.

Who took away our option to vote to make things better?

Oh yeah, the consumerist scumbags who kept voting against Bernie in the primaries.

Who took away our option to vote to make things better?

The first past the post election system did.

If you want things to get better in elections, you need to get rid of primaries. Instead implement a voting scheme where you aren't punished for ranking your desires honestly.

In the current system, the only votes that matter are the ones for the two leading candidates. Any other vote is equivalent to not voting.
