Then I’d say your options are relocate to somewhere with a more appealing government or cede electoral power to others. Third parties are irrelevant on the national scale, and only slightly less so on the state scale.
Agitate for RCV or other election reforms that make third parties more relevant, but until that’s the case I’ll stand by my earlier assertions.

The Left has no electoral power in a system dominated by financial interests. The DNC does not represent the Left.

Why would the DNC or GOP weaken their own standing?
Exactly. I agree 100%. The system is what it is and it will only change over the course of lifetimes, not years. Unless your solution is violent revolution in which case I’d still say to also cast meaningful votes based on some criteria of your choosing. I guess you could vote Republican on the hopes a fascist America would more quickly be overthrown internally or externally. That sounds like a terrible timeline to live through, though.

lol this mf literally just said “if you don’t like it here, then just leave”. Where have I heard that before…
The system is what it is. Third party is moot. That’s it. Motherfuckers pretending shit can change just because you really really want it to.
Stop looking inside the system for solutions to fix it.
Liberal doomerism is something else, huh.
I’m sure as hell not down for revolution and violence, no.
