That's how you play the game. Your other choices are being a piece on the board, or violence.

Sure, just dilute your power even more.

Run on a third party ticket when you have the numbers to win an election, until then organize a group, and trade support for concessions.

While voting, the only votes that matter are for the 2 leading parties. A third party vote is equivalent to not voting. Outside of the voting booth, there's more you can do to push what you actually want. Doing stuff other than voting doesn't mean you have to completely waste your vote too.

Who took away our option to vote to make things better?

The first past the post election system did.

If you want things to get better in elections, you need to get rid of primaries. Instead implement a voting scheme where you aren't punished for ranking your desires honestly.

In the current system, the only votes that matter are the ones for the two leading candidates. Any other vote is equivalent to not voting.

I'm also annoyed by PWM artifacts on taillights.

Fuck commission based sales.

OOP smells like a pro-putin propaganda account. Someone else doing something bad doesn't make your own acts of murder any more justifiable, especially when you're murdering someone completely different than the wrongdoer.

You can scan a document to PDF, sometimes the default orientation isn't correct.

You mean you don't open the terminal and use mkdir?
