The president of the AFL-CIO called the November election a “fundamental choice,” slamming Trump as “an unhinged serial union buster who betrays working people.”

      I get you, and we really need a ranked voting system. But until then if you don’t vote for Harris, you get Trump. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, I know.

        And you can blame Democrats and Republicans for not championing ranked choice.

          True. Why would they give up their monopoly? It’s a crappy situation, but if Trump wins—you’ll never get to vote again.

            Let me get this straight: I have no choice but to vote for Harris so that I can vote. It seems the right to vote has already been stripped.

              If you want to vote in the future, you better hope Trump doesn’t win. I know the concept of limited choices is disappointing, but that’s reality—and while I would love to see additional political parties have an equal chance, that’s not the system we live in.

      Are you suggesting a third party will get anywhere near the votes than either trump or Harris?

        yes that is exactly what am suggesting

        but unfortunately, too many citizens are drowning in the red and blue punch bowls to vote third party

          Ok well that suggestion is silly, there’s zero chance of it happening in November.
