@monty2654 Are you being obtuse in purpose!?!? I did not say a desire for freedom and free expression was a hivemind! Stop twisting my words!
"If you're having trouble deciding which side to be on. .."
I'm not, I already chose. I am not going to ally with either of the two bigger ones, as they both just enlarge the government in their own ways and make the problem worse.
"Fence sitters"
Implying I did not make up my mind.
"... Deserve to endure every s### storm that comes from not helping."
See, that attitude is precisely why I don't ally with either one. Thank you for showing your true colors. I do not cooperate with people that hate me all because I dare not conform completely.
Also, Help in what way to prevent evil? A vote for a candidate that will just bait and switch, go back on his or her word, enlarge the government further, perpetuate war, etc. like what happens every election cycle? Yeah, because a slave suggestion box totally helped thus far, right? Look around you. Even indulging some modicum of success, it gets reversed eventually.
I'm not "doing nothing." I'm running an IPFS node even now to help keep some literature censorship resistant. It is not much, but it is something. That is just one example of what I do.
I am not a fence-sitter, I am just smart enough to know that any "alliance" would mean being thrown under the bus or otherwise backstabbed once I have outlived my usefulness to said "allies," just like the last time it was tried.

@monty2654 "What difference can you actually make from either withholding or throwing your vote away?" What difference will the vote make if it is just going to either backfire, be ignored, or see any progress be reversed? Explain that, first.
"How can hold anybody accountable, otherwise?"
How would they be held accountable by repeating the exact same cycle they benefit from over and over again? No matter which way you vote, it doesn't matter. If they want to push a policy, they will scare everyone into following along. They have done it before, and they will do it again so long as we keep enabling them with the ballot. Were you not even paying attention to the part where I said they can just wait until practically everyone forgets about their misdeeds and get elected, anyway? That was one of the things I said. Please, pay attention.
"We’re being backstabbed on such a monumental level now."
Because, the backstabbers have no incentive to do otherwise. They know that so long as they keep everyone scared into going to the ballot against the other party (whichever one that might be), they don't have to do squat. There is no point to a vote if they know they can just say "Oh, but that other side is worse" and get their blind sheep suckered in because of it.
"You’re going to have come up better than this."
Not the ballot. Doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result is beyond asinine. The burden of proof is not on me, it is on you to justify the current thing, stop dodging it.
"I’m pretty confident others will want to know, especially since you have it “figured out”, no?"
I do not purport to know everything, stop strawmanning me. Since you asked what I think might help, here are some examples: Stop participating in this exercise in masochism. Civilly disobey. Take some activities (including economic ones) underground if you have to. The more communities that form to rely on its own members instead of politicians, the less control Congress will have over everything due to the sheer numbers of groups the FBI would be hard pressed to crack down on. The reason we keep losing is because we keep feeding into the system that is used to destroy everything we hold dear. To put a stop to this, we need to break off from it.
In4b "muh civil war," keep in mind the armed forces are getting weaker and weaker with all the woke crap that gets spewed in there. Even if they weren't the idea is to exhaust their law enforcement over time to where their policies become unenforceable.
