Voting for a third party has a worse outcome. Not voting has a worse outcome
Only if you’re a spoiled child incapable of thinking any further ahead than right now.
In the king term your strategy has no chance of ever improving anything. Your best case outcome is “thing get much worse. But a little bit more slowly”.
You’re clinging to the ratchet for fear of the wheel, when the only answer is to destroy the whole machine. Voting outside the duopoly or abstaining altogether offer even a slim chance of that. The good news is the chances get less slim with each person who gives up on the genocidal war party in disgust, so the numbers are shifting in ways that give me hope. In ankther cycle or two, when even more Dem voters realize that the DSA isn’t going to change anything either, I expect the rate of attrition for the Neoliberal ghouls to increase starkly.
