I see you understand the faults of the First-past-the-post voting system. Did you know that we can change how we vote at the state level?
That means blue states can easily avoid the situation you are describing by passing electoral reform. We don’t need need to wait for a hail Mary from congress to work out, we can do this right now. In fact, some states have already passed electoral reform.
Totally possible, there should be no excuses to keep things as they are. Democrats are self proclaimed defenders of democracy. Of course they would want people to vote how they want freely… right?
You seem very concerned with the spoiler effect, so I’ll leave you some videos on our current voting system and alternatives we can choose from. Because who could understand the flaws of the voting system and not want to fix it? So that people can vote how they wish in a democracy without a spoiler effect.

Well aware of alternatives to the flawed 1st part the post system. Which of the alternatives are in place nationally?
You may want to tell your congresspeople and neighbors about it, not just random shitposters on Lemmy for better effect, I know I have.
