There is an easy solution.

Nearly every other democracy in the world uses it.

But the RNC and DNC have monopolized our political system and brainwashed the voting base against the real solution: voting for anyone else. Don't be a coward and keep eating shit. Vote third party.

I live in a place where my voice and vote have been taken from me by gerrymandering and the electoral college. Millions of Americans live like this. If you want to eat shit and vote Biden to avoid eating more shit with Trump, I absolutely understand. It's basic math.

But if you're a liberal living in rural Tennessee like I am, and your vote is literal trash, I'd encourage every one of those people who've had their vote and choice stolen from them, like I have, to vote third party every time.

Do not vote third party, I know it's tempting to believe in a hero who will swoop in and fix all this, but the last time we elected someone because they were an "Outsider", we got Trump, and it doesn't matter, the system is rigged against third parties.

The Republicans actively encourage Third Parties to be as Left as they can, solely because they know they're unelectable and will split the vote

God now I'm remembering Sean Haugh.....

By continously throwing away your vote, you are guranteeing Tenessee stays the way it is
