no one fucking told me about states banning RCV during all that yapping on here about how i should VOTE THIRD PARTY OR ELSE IM COMPLICIT in the DNCs CRIMES
it may or may not be joever, very blackpilled at this moment
edit it’s actually 10 states. 5 in the past two months.
hey, you can vote for a third party that represents your ideals and politics and it’s not throwing your vote away or voting for trump.
you don’t have to feel blackpilled, the way out of this is past the winners of this next election, not through them.
This. Sounds like much but people need to take the L, and create a wedge big enough that neither side can stop noticing anymore
It’s a system designed to keep the 2 parties in power. Voting third party means your vote is effectively wasted in a FPTP system
If enough people do it over time I wouldn’t think so right?
Each time they would win over and over more seats.
But of course that would require voters to recognize the situation, take the L and keep on continuing voting the third party
In FPTP, not really because voting third party can split the vote between multiple parties meaning that none of them get a relative majority of votes and their common opponent wins instead. The system encourages you to vote for the next closes party that is the most likely to get more votes (strategic voting). It entirely favours a 2 party dynamic
This is a good video explanation that you may have seen before as it is popular
that video illustrates the problem with strategic voting: it consolidates parties. the lesson you sohuld learn from it is that strategic voting is actually voting against your own interest.
This. Thinking that strategic way got them into this mess in the first place
But that’s the point of a new party, to split the votes. In the end you need to create a wedge big enough that neither side can ignore
But again, that takes way too much from people. They need to take the L a few times before actually pulling something worthwhile
