Organize. Chances are that there is only a small amount of overlap between what you want and either candidate.Thanks to the first pass the post voting system, it is likely that both candidates favor decreasing rights and increase in corporate power.
Try to get different voting systems set up. Spread information about the problems of first pass the post. Spread information about the issues you care about. Push for local candidates.
Lol sounds a lot like regular fucking democracy to me.
Yeah, it's a bit more than casting your vote and then going home, that is because our democracy is weak.
To be clear, if all you can do is vote, do that, it's fine, but meaningful change will not happen if everyone just votes.
