Sure, both sides are not the same. But the "good" side is still part of the system that allows the "bad" side to exist.
So by all means, vote for the party that will do less damage in the short term. But oppose FPTP voting at the same time.
Voting is not enough to have a functioning democracy. Activism is essential
In a world where a large majority of America has recognized it was asinine to ever consider voting for the bad side, it becomes more practical to have third party alternatives.
But that cannot happen within the current system lest you allow the Republicans to win. Change must be forced onto the system.
Who says we are?
Would preventing the bad side from existing equal thought police?
