I’ve never voted for a Republican OR Democrat that I didn’t know personally in my entire life. Why do I add that qualifier? Because I did know some older small town politicians, in both US parties, back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when my grandfather was still alive, and they were his friends.
So you just don’t vote for most offices then?
No. Voting for the lesser of two evil is still voting for evil. I’ll write someone in before I vote for some party functionary that only cares about their own political power.
So functionally, you abstain from voting and dont express a preference about how you are goverened.

Given that I havent expressed a preference and have never voted either Democrat or Republican in a single election (owing to not being American) I believe you may be inventing things about me.
And what I said stands, you functionally dont express a preference and what you do is equivalent to staying in bed and not turning out to vote.
As you said. You aren’t American, so you don’t have any right to interject yourself into our voting system. And for the record, our 2 party system is absolutely nothing like most other nations that have multiple strong parties.
You cannot break the stranglehold of the 2 party system by continuing to vote for those two parties.
