there’s always a progressive candidate and you should always vote; just be aware that both the republican and democratic parties are actively perpetuating this system.
I’m not just searching for them, I’m canvassing and donating to them, but there simply aren’t progressive options in every race in every district. And even some nominally progressive candidates will support genocide if it is politically expedient. Politics is the slow boring of hard boards, and one of those boards right now is global human rights, and we’re not even halfway through it. You get through with constant pressure and effort. You can’t always get what you want.

There is not always a progressive candidate.
there always is; it’s just that you’re not made aware of the progressive candidate’s existence.
in cases where it doesn’t seem like there’s one, you have to search for him/her/them yourself.
