They sent a message saying "Both of these choices suck by exactly the same amount. I have no preference".

How can you win a war, when you lack the strength to grit your teeth and choose the lesser evil? Will you stamp your fists on the ground and demand no evil, while the greater evil slaughters your people? How many lives of your tribesmen will you give in order to send your message to the Democrats?

No, more like "both of these people should be tried for crimes against humanity, so I support neither"

As far as "how do I win a war" it starts with not supporting a capitalist, because as long as they have power, the working class will be oppressed.

You have power! You are responsible! You need to use that power. You need to make active choices in the world.

Yes, we have power, which we can use to toss off the chains of the oppressors, and seize the means of production.

So, ready to do more than just vote?

I have no interest in entertaining your false dichotomy.

Well, it's two years to the next federal vote.

What are you going to do in the meantime?

I've been doing what I plan to do for the next 2, 4, 8, 20 years: work to build just systems, that dont rely on the state to meet the material needs of the working class in my community.

So, again, what are you doing?

There you go. You figured it out. I did all that, and one more day on top of it. It only takes one day to vote.
