        Not voting for them, just like the Montgomery Bus Boycott there alternative methods of transportation, and they used those methods until they broke the system and made it work for them

          And how exactly are you going to convince conservative voters to join your boycott? Because without that, your boycott will result in fascists taking complete control when they are the only ones who show up to vote.

            I don’t need to convince conservatives to join, like blacks in Montgomery didn’t need help from white bus riders. We out number them, simple math. All it takes is breaking up one side of the duopoly and gain a party that represents people, not capital

              You get how voting works, right?

              People who support candidate A are going to vote for A because they’re not joining your boycott. Assuming everyone else, or even a large chunk of people who support candidate B join you and refuse to participate? How do you think that fares for B?

              You end up with A elected in a landslide, and policy veers even farther from representing B.

                Then one side needs to do better and represent the working class, not their donors. But since thats not gonna happen they need to die off as a party so an actual party that represents the public can emerge.
