All of that and more is a red line for me, which is why I'm not voting and doing everything that actually matters to stop them.
Can you outline those things that actually matter, that you are doing?
Direct action for mutual aid. Anarchism. I'm helping my fellow humans outside of the capitalist system with my every waking moment that is not dedicated to survival.
can you be more specific than just saying direct action? Like what does this action entail? What do you go out and do?
My main focus and expertise is making and running FOSS.

Yes "that actually matters" being the key words
Can I ask why you aren't voting third party? Is it to avoid at all legitimizing the relevant institutions/systems?
I'm voting third party so that, hypothetically, Dems can see that those votes exist, and maybe consider trying to earn them by adopting leftist policy positions. I know they very likely won't though, tbc, but it's a more likely event than a third party candidate winning
Exactly. The whole system is rotten, and any votes is legitimizing it.
That makes sense! That's how I feel about veganism. Even if the meat has already been processed and will go to waste if I don't eat it, I'm still not eating it
