Not voting, or voting for a third party is a vote for the worst party as long as you continue to be satisfied with First Past The Post voting.

If you want to change this on the local level, I implore you to do so. The Constitution allows for us to change anything we want on the local, state, or federal level. Getting Ranked Choice Voting as the local preference will shove the federal government to adopt the same, eventually. The founding fathers didn't have access to the math that proves how bad FPTP is, but they did acknowledge that they weren't deities, and couldn't know what the US may need in the future. We are allowed to change anything. Hell, The Declaration of Independence says that (sic) "if a government shall decline or refuse to follow the will of the people, then that people is required to abolish or replace the government."

It's long past due to abolish the kleptocracy that is in place.

Not voting or voting for a third party is not a vote for Republicans, it's not voting or voting for a third party.

You should be ashamed to vote for any of the major two parties giving their full backing to an ongoing genocide. The myth of Democrats and Republicans as meaningfully separate parties is dead.

(edit) And to be absolutely clear what I mean here. Their economic policy, the towering administrative state, the military funding, the Federal Reserve, the bailout policy, the surveillance state, the DHS, TSA, ATF, CIA, FBI, all the international imperial meddling, empire building, regime change & overthrowing democratic leaders shit, it's all the same goddamn thing between both parties. They literally only bicker about small fry social issues and hope the gullible people in the public who haven't studied anything won't notice the bipartisan consensus on everything else. It's honestly embarrassing how much people sit around and defend Democrats, you have no idea what 95% of what they actually uphold even is. We were all screaming 2000-2008 about Bush cementing a police state into power, and then Obama came along and literally normalized the entire thing, and now it's like that's all forgotten history.
