You know the two major parties are just offering more oligarchy and corporate rule, their social issues are just contrived to court the dumber electorate on the extremes. They aren't there to represent you and they never will until damaged to unrecognisable and needing to be rebuilt.
Vote green, force the other two into earning your vote. Or let them rot.
Greens might go the same way, but much slower. Let's see how it goes.
@lhgmk2 I really don't get why people in the UK and NZ act and vote as if there are Only Two Parties That Could Possibly Win, while in the US that is currently the case and yet suddenly in the year before each election everyone is suddenly wet for a third party with no chance.

What happens when you mandate masks at a conference now that most people no longer wear them but medically vulnerable people are still at risk because #CovidIsNotOver? In the case of #PyConUS, the conference sells out.
Why a masking policy? “Many of us and our fellow community members can’t attend without health and safety guidelines in place. We want PyCon US to be an event that everyone feels safe attending,” organizers explained.
@cferdinandi@chriswood@smach@pycon very much this. AuDHD, tall for a woman and my hair constantly changes colour. Adding a mask in public honestly hasn't noticeably changed the level of staring
We just got notice from one tactical armed Saanich PD to stay inside our house & away from windows. I'm trying to peek up windows but see nothing except for tactical armed men, running down our road & saw 3 jumping over a neighbour's fence. We still have no idea WTF us happening!
@simon_brooke@Nonbiner my heart breaks at the thought of any kid feeling that, but having been a troubled undiagnosed kid until university (and not even properly dxed til age 35), I know the feeling 😔
