I try to bring up our undemocratic government at every opportunity when discussing politics.
As despicable and corrupt as the Democratic Party is, I think in every case vote the Democratic ticket or withhold your vote. Luckily, I live in CA, so I have rarely voted for a President because under our system, it’s a blue state so I don’t have to. Most of our presidents end up as war criminals so what’s the point. This allows me not to vote my conscience. I do hope Harris wins. Rather than fight against a dangerous Trump administration, it would be better for the Democrats to win because they out themselves in terms of all talk and never delivering. They always blame the crazy Republicans, but it becomes an opportunity to point out to people it is our undemocratic Constitution that holds back the structural and necessary changes to address the needs of Americans and planet earth. Yes, we do need a democratic Republic and a democratic Constitution.
Thanks for engaging with the article, Tina. I like essentially everything Jill Stein is putting forward in her 2024 campaign. I think she should focus on demands for proportional representation, changing the Supreme Court, and changing the Senate (the last of which isn't talked about on her website). Ultimately, I think the U.S. needs to be a democracy before many of her proposals can be realized.

No vote for Harris. Vote for Jill Stein. Break the two party system. Make a positive vote choice.
