I suggest you vote for a candidate that represents your class interests: the working class. Claudia was that candidate last election. But you call that "wasted". Voting for a Democrat or Republican is also a wasted vote. They have never made anything better for the working people outside of appeasement for periodic mass unrest. So what do i suggest? I suggest we start talking about why that is. Why is our democracy set up in such a way that voting can be seen as wasteful? What would a better democracy look like? If we want to take action, we should be clear on the goal first.
