Nothing. We're mostly either treatlerites or impotent cucks. In fact I think most people are that way it's just that we're the center of the imperial core so we care less about changing things because we get more positives than negatives from the situation.

>election comes
>voote bloo to defeat fascism
scenario 1:
>republicans win
>spend the rest of the term feeling paralysed by the threat of fascism
scenario 2:
>democrats win
>fascism is destroyed, mission success, objective completed, no need to do anything

We dont need 3# USA threads. Keep this local drama inside general.

Because for people who know the ins-and-outs of the american election system, it's pretty clear that the two-party system is hardwired in.

You see, the president is determined by the vote of the electors in the electoral college, and those votes are "pledged". When John Doe or Joe Blow vote for the Republican or Democrat party, they're actually voting for the electors of that party to represent the state at the electoral level. It's not a vote for president, it's a vote for electors.

The other parties don't have electors, there's really no plan or precedent for "what if a third party won the majority of votes", the presumption is if such a thing *did* happen, we'd scramble to find electors to represent the party so that they could vote at the electoral level. But in reality, that wouldn't happen, no third party would sweep the country. What you'd see instead is them claiming one state, and then nothing would change, because even if they had electors for that state, they wouldn't have enough votes.

To give another party a chance to win, you'd have to reform the electoral college, which would require that you get senators and representatives belonging to another party so they could push through reforms to the system. It's kinda an ouroboros situation.

this makes as much sense as
>the burgers genetically can't have a third party win
>it's written into our genes, sorry
cope and lame excuses while portraying yourself the victim

third parteis have no chance because the system had made it impossible for them to prosper, the only way a third party might win is by being funded by a billionaire.

Anyways, i dont vote at all

Honestly real

Despite the fact that the two parties are currently very strongly merged with the state and getting a third party on ballot or getting past gerrymandering and voter suppression can be very hard, that could be changed if we started at a state level and worked up. The truth is a successful enough third party would be able to win and trigger a split between the legislative and executive branches (which is already underway anyways surprisingly) and likely bring up much more fundamental issues of state power being being beholden to the bourgeoisie in more sinister ways. Fundamentally our elected representatives don't hold real power, the deep state, which consists of unelected officials, the permanent members of the military, the supreme court, police, the bourgeois media, bourgeois think tanks, private security, and three letter agencies, holds power.

If we had a communist party that didn't tail democrats, that focused on studying the issues important to working class people and finding the solution that's in our best interests, and went door to door popularizing their policy positions and building alternative media based on face to face interactions, they could likely become a huge presence. Instead they do other shit, god knows why

I was told we should not engage in bourgeois politics and elections.
