    You won’t get big changes voting for Biden or Trump. Just more of the same.

      Pretty big changes have resulted from the previous Trump presidency. Any reason why you think this one will be ineffectual?

      Sorry, you will get big changes voting for Trump. becasue too much is already in place to make those types of changes happen. I dont agree with these changes, but to say they are the “same” is a dangerous opinion.

      The person at the top is needed to green light policy… those lower down present such policy… While this can seem boring it is important, since while by definition the president will be at the center of their party. If the party you vote for is most interested in vetoing everything of the other party… even if they agree with the law in general, there is no progress.

      Of course you must do more than just vote for the least bad president to make the change happen… However if you can’t at least do that you own the results os the OP said.

      The system protects itself. There is no path for a third party straight to the top. Split the vote sufficiently and the House decides.
