Initially I thought I could “undermine” from within. I’m a 50 year old, white, vet, so I tick a lot of conservative boxes, and I imagined I could plant seeds of doubt with people that might assume to include me in certain groups.
But that never really happened, and both parties can hang for all I care. (At least 90% of the ones over 65.)
So now I just vote straight Dem for harm reduction and tell young folks they need to be active, vote, and take the roles away from us older folks cuz we can’t be trusted to do what is obviously and objectively the right thing to do.
What is funny is I have been reading and listening to a lot of early US history and this has literally been the same story over and over again.
Curious, why do you remain registered as a Republican?
My state has open primaries and I vote in the Republican primary to fuck their shit up.
At this point I don’t know.

Is there a political system that works?
We haven’t tried this one yet. I’m willing to give it a go!
Not OP, but probably to sabotage the competition rather than force each party to run a competitive candidate.
