    anybody on the left withholding their vote at this point fundamentally disbelieves in a system with exactly two discrete options, so this type of post doesn’t persuade anybody

        Yeah I don’t “believe” our system best serves the common good. But I sure as hell will vote for Kamala because it’s very clear that is my best course of action to serve the common good. Voting for a third party won’t lead to a system where more parties have a voice, it will help Trump get into power, where only a single party has a voice, and any other voice will be silenced

            Believing in something and believing something exists or is a certain state are two very different things.

            You can believe that this despotic duopoly exists in such a way that there are only two outcomes, without believing such a system will ever function.
