Maybe, but the discussions about politics there usually ended with "We can't vote for Trump OR a Dem right now, what third party can we go to/start?" Like, I want to support the Greens myself, but they are very firm about trans "rights", so I really am politically homeless right now. We live in Hellworld right now and it sucks.

If I was in the US I would be looking at #Unity2020. The aim is primarily to disrupt the two party system, and oppose the authoritarian right and Woke/authoritarian left. Concept has been put forward by Bret Weinstein, who is pretty firmly gender critical. The ticket may not be GC, but should at least not be TRA captured.

Aim is to put up a left/right joint ticket, and gather the votes of Traditional Liberals, Passive Liberals, Politically Disengaged and Moderates as a block (67%), who outnumber Progressive Activists, Traditional Conservatives and Devoted Conservatives (32%).

Flip the voting axis from left/right to liberal/authoritarian, and defeat the authoritarians. Draw voters from both Republicans and Democrats equally to avoid an unbalanced spoiler, and withdraw if victory doesn't appear within reach.

Go find Bret Weinstein's Twitter and you find links to documents and interviews.

(As an aside, in the UK the SDP (Social Democratic Party) has just put out a policy document firmly balancing womens' rights with trans - another party looking for anti-TRA votes).

This is really interesting, and I would love to see more unity in my country the US. Thank you for posting this!

Yeah, I feel the same. But not voting could also create a "win" for Trump. Whether that means I should support the Biden the Groper instead - I don't know. But I can see the OP's point in this.

Unless you all are in a swing state, maybe the conscientious thing to do is to sit this one out. At the end of the day, the outcome will only depend on a few swing states anyway. I'm not in a swing state, so I'm not voting. Trump is a disaster but damn the Woke left. The way they are behaving now, they aren't getting my affirmation vote.
