It does not seem to support alternatives.

I had to run

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox 99
update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox`
xdg-settings set default-web-browser firefox.desktop

Here is another reason: because I would rather try for long-term improvements than to accept gradual worsening.

Voting for conservative Democrats will not improve anything. They do not want increased accountability for the rich. They do not want universal healthcare. They do not want to get away from fossil fuels (in the time frame required). They do not want to fix our car-centric infrastructure. They do not want to stop genocide. They do not want affordable housing. They do not want affordable education. They actively fight against those who do.

Voting for conservative Democrats is not about making things better, it is about stopping things from getting worse. The Democratic Party is not a big tent, it is a hostage situation: the liberals are told "stay with us and vote for us, or the fascists will kill you."

Long term, will voting 3rd party force the Democrats left? If the Democrats shift further right instead, will there be enough time for a liberal party to emerge and challenge before the county fails? I do not know.

I am not mad at anybody for voting for the lesser of two evils. It is a reasonable, defensible choice. I understand that many of the people making that choice are victims of our system, not the perpetrators. If their strategy works, and we keep getting the lesser evil, I cannot fault them for it.

But I would rather try for a long-term improvement than to accept gradual worsening.

In my state, the two major parties keep changing the rules to make it harder for other parties to get ballot access. If a party gets a certain number of votes in the general, they can keep their ballot access without needing to jump through a bunch of expensive hoops designed to keep them out. I vote to have more choice in future elections. Because that is all I can vote for.

This is the primary. This is when we should be able to vote for candidates who more closely align with our views. (Like being anti-genocide.)

I live in a state that is not even close to be competitive. Why should I not vote for the Green Party candidate?

Ok.

Most guilty people are already escaping punishment.

Why a tax instead of a ban?

"Sure, you can have this dangerous, child-crushing, planet destroying machine that externalizes most of its costs to society, and you can use it in public and be a dick with it, but only if you are rich."

The other half is executive compensation.
