"...Filing your taxes has never been faster or easier, especially if you do it online....the DIY approach may cost little or nothing....Most of us prefer free software..." foxnews.com/tech/best-tax-software-to-use-in-2019
This one is a little like the Emmys. "Best site for DIY tax prep" is TurboTax. "Best online tax site if you need a little help" is H&R Block. "Best site for earning bonus points" is TaxAct. "Best tax prep site to protect your identity" is TaxSlayer. "Best tax site for experienced DIY-ers" is Jackson Hewitt.
And for those that are wondering, I do pay taxes. As little as possible!

You get to vote, but of course you don't really get a choice of who takes power.
Yeah they do, they just won't make even the feeblest effort. The non-voting block alone could change everything.

I'm not convinced they could, not when the two state-sanctioned parties prevent alternatives from gaining any ground.

That doesn't make sense. They can't force you to vote for them. It's as trivial as turning our backs. We can continue to play along to get along, or we can try something different. The choice ours to make, not the party's.

Yeah, I suppose you could, but I can't see how that would work.
Don't vote for them. Then what? Either the Democrat or Republican incumbent will win, but with fewer votes. They don't care about that.
Vote for a third party? That's a good idea, but in the 243 years you've been doing this you've never managed more than two parties.

Only for the lack of votes. That's not the party's fault. I mean, it is, they couldn't sell their product, but it's still on the voters to decide. There is no one else to blame. The voters are responsible for their choices. The system cannot work without acknowledging the fundamentals.

That's true, and I am not sure what the answers are, but I live in a country with 1% of your population and 6 parties in parliament.
The UK even has first-past-the-post voting and they manage to have 8 parties.
Something else is going on in the US. Propaganda? Maybe, I'm not sure.

If, next election, every eligible voter who has not voted regularly for the past 12 years were to vote Green, then we would have a Green president. There wouldn't be room for the electoral college to screw it up. It wouldn't be 53% vs 47%. If all of them turned out and voted alike, their vote would win, something like 57% to 21% to 22%. That's how many people don't bother to vote. No after-the-vote tricks could overcome that kind of a margin.

I'm sure you're right, but it seems like a forlorn hope at this point.
I would be very interested to see what would happen if voters did that though.
