We already know that the problem is First Past The Post (FPTP) voting. Literally everyone qualified to hold office in the USA knows it. But would you vote for someone who's incompetent at best, making things only slightly worse for 4 years?

Every election, the answer is a resounding yes. Vote for the lesser evil, and then we'll rely entirely on direct action between elections, like strikes.

Then the lesser evils shut down a badly needed rail strike, at a time when that could have been the start of something big.

So you tell me what you'd do, I'm genuinely curious.
