It's a shit voting system. But the election is happening. How to effect a mass general strike large enough to change the voting system and introduce a new candidate with a chance of winning within two months?

Because that is needed in order to safely tell people not to vote.

Do both? I'm not saying don't vote I'm saying the impact of voting is not enough to enact substantial change in policy.
