I see your point, but going for the worse option so people wake up is rather bold. And at least I can't do that with good conscience, because I'm a white cis man, I'd be the last person to really have any consequences from that. And I can't gamble the safety of other groups like that.

I'm not saying be complicit. Strike, protest and riot. Make your voice heard. Call for a parliamentary democracy, whatever.

    I'm not saying campaign for them or support them in any way. Just cast your vote for them so the country goes to shit a bit slower and prepare for actual change in your spare time. Organize a protest, join a union, burn a billionaire at a stake.

    Voting for a 3rd party will never give them any legislative power bc of your weird ass election system. If it was a parliamentary system sure, but not with whatever you got.

    Just give seats proportional to the votes a party got. So kinda like how most developed nations do it.

    Would also dismantle your bullshit 2 party system

    (Im not trying to defend the democratic systems in Europe, they still suck, but they're a whole lot better than the US system)
