Except our lives have gotten better over the past 50 years. Measurably. Usually under democratic leadership. The “lesser of two evils” strategy only works when it successfully keeps the greater evil out of office, and America has the memory of a goldfish when it comes to voting and keep putting the worst possible candidates into office at the most critical times.
Not sure why you are on the politics community advocating for non-voting, anyway.
Has it? Income inequality is higher than it’s ever been. 65%, and rising, live paycheck to paycheck, homelessness just hit a record high, the largest and fastest growing segment of the homeless are the elderly, food banks are seeing record turnout with numbers exceeding COVID lockdowns. The mortality rate between the wealthy and poor is 14 years. Things are not better. The only difference is if a republican were in office right now democrats would be able to see how bad it is. But they have their blinders on until the next republican president, then you hand those blinders over to Republican voters who won’t see how bad things are.
Where did I say not to vote, I said quit voting for the duopoly who only acts in the interests of the donor class.
That’s my solution. Red or blue the quality of our lives do not get better. 50 years of this ‘lesser evil’ has not produced lesser evil
