If you really absolutely will not vote for moderates, at least vote for leninist-marxist peoples front of Arizona or something. There's a politican somewhere who will see that 0.15% and think "that could make or brake my campaign, how can I win them over?"
I've got some "they're both capitalism, so it's all the same". News flash: we have regulated capitalism. The choice is between regulated capitalism or the GOP desire of free for all capitalism.
In 2/3 of the US it's still legal to pay someone $7 an hour, and has been since 2008 across multiple Democratic and Republican administrations.
It really does suck that both parties are rabidly capitalist.
Thank you for being exhibit A.
News flash: Minimum wage is by definition an example of regulated capitalism.
Want it to move up? Then move the overton window by telling the free for all side that they have no chance of winning.
You have to give people a reason to vote, man. People do not care if the candidate of change is a fascist when the guy in office already has demonstrated that he doesn't give a fuck if there's food on your family's table. You saw it in 2016.
For the vast majority of this country, the last 40 years have been one long, tortured loss of economic and social liberty, and Joe Biden's presidency has been an enthusiastic participant in it by doing next-to-nothing to alleviate it.
He did make hundreds of billions appear out of thin air overnight though, for more war.
I vote, but I can't really pretend that it accomplishes much.
We hand Democrats a majority and all they do with it is find a way to spend another half trillion on war that wasn't budgeted. When I point out that perhaps it'd be good if we didn't neglect our own people's needs, people call me a traitor or a Russian shill. (Neither of which are true.)
And for those trumpeting the AZ decision here, go look at Idaho, where abortion was criminalized and they got away with it. In a year 2/3 of the states will have similar laws just like in 2/3 of the states it's still legal to pay someone $7 an hour.
That is what people are talking about when they say voting doesn't matter, because if you're poor or working class, there is no effective difference between the two ruling parties.
Of course people should vote where it's working. The argument on the federal level is that it's not working. It's not harm reduction because the federal Democrats are too cowardly or too compromised to enforce protective laws and the Constitution as evidenced by reality.
It's really "relative" harm reduction because conservatives are literally trying to conduct harm amplification
