    Voting strategically is not an act of heroism any more than wiping your ass is. It’s the bare minimum that you do when things are basically okay.

    The real question you should be asking is “should I tolerate the situation in America as it exists?” If you’re not happy with Trump or Biden, the answer is no. End of story.

    Strike is on the table. A large general strike would be needed to force reforms. Get specific and organize. Be sure to include voting systems in your thinking.

    But don’t forget to attend to the basics while you’re at it. There’s no realistic third alternative in this voting system. Many more people will die under Trump, and you won’t be the one picking.
