    No party cares about people that don’t vote. Genuinely, they don’t care at all. They’re not going to find out what you wanted, because you didn’t go against them. A non vote says “Yeah, whatever”.

    If you want to look at an example of how to break into a two party system, you need to look at UKIP in the UK.

    The idea being not that you get enough votes to win (because that wouldn’t happen), but attract enough votes to make the other parties steal your policies, so your voters go to them instead.

    So if you want actual socialist policies, you all need to bury your leftist differences (hard I know, some of them don’t even use Linux), set up a party that represents more or less what you want, and vote for it. Maybe that party is the Green party. Maybe it’s something else.
