Voting for democrats or republicans is against my interest while providing legitimacy to the two party regime.
I don’t think this matters a whole lot when the two party system is older than you are.
That’s great news for most Americans as they clearly do not share your interest. Democracy seems to be working.
Your personal next step should be convincing others you’re right, if possible, not pursuing minority rule.
