  • The system exists as it is…. I don’t know any other way to say this. FPTP has a spoiler problem that you can’t wish away.

    I’m not going to vote for a candidate that’s going to get maybe 2-5% of the vote.

    I would like to bet you $1000 that either the Dem or Rep candidate will win. If anyone BUT those two win, I would pay you.

    If you ACTUALLY believed anyone else will win, you’d take me up on it. What do you say?

    The presidential vote isn’t where we fix the voting system. We have to work in the system we have. It’s just reality.

    My assessment of you hasn’t changed - you’re either completely ignorant or want Biden voters to change to third party to help Trump.

    Every interaction with you has a similar quality. I’m never sure if you’re just this stupid or if you know exactly what you’re doing.


  • You’ve already got one response to this which is correct. I want to add to it to help explain how FPTP voting systems result in a 2 party system and simply voting for another party does not solve the issue.

    But first you’re either aware of the problem and want to encourage people to vote third party while pretending not to know how the system works or you’re actually just ignorant to the issue.

    I don’t normally like video links in discussions like this but this one is especially good and is only 6.5 mins.
