"The U.S. election system is rigged in favor of the two party system "

If you truly believe that, which I do, any vote in this system is a vote to legitimize it.

If my only choices are these two corrupt party, then for the first time I will refuse to participate to help legitimizing it.

Delusion to think you legitimize it by not voting. You are supporting trump that way.

So are you. But facts speak for themselves. Voting is a civic responsibility which one assumes if one lives in a society.

When it comes to having another party to put forth a candidate, someone commented on a thread or in an article I read, that it takes a foundation being built. People have to start by electing people from that party to county commissioner, state representatives & senators, then to Federal offices. A third party is never going to win by just floating a candidate for the top spot, president, every 4 yrs. So, whether it’s the Green Party or another that you like better, you & those who join you have to learn to play the long game to achieve the prize; just like the anti abortion, anti Affirmative Action conservatives did over the last 40 years to get all the current district, appellate, & Supreme Court justices in place to get them the decisions they wanted.
