If I wanted to waste time I wouldn’t stand in line to vote…
In our political system any vote besides R or D means the same as not voting. Thats just reality, it sucks but it is.
You want to change it? Great, me too. But we do that by being more invested in the current system and electing people willing to improve it.
Its more likely to matter in downticket races, where the total amount of votes is less than the margin for victory in most federal elections.
Sure, we’re not going to see a third party president any time soon, but its more than feasible in state and local elections. People just tend to ignore them because they’re not as in your face as federal elections. Even though they’re often as important as federal elections.
Which has fuckall to do with the POTUS, which is what we’re discussing.
No third party in the US has a workable platform and they don’t even try to make one. They do literally nothing. We can argue back and forth about why they are at a disadvantage or why they have no chance blah blah blah, but it doesn’t take any of that.
Don’t feed on the propaganda. There’s a shitty movie out every month or so who millions go to watch because they get blasted with ads. It really doesn’t take much to teach people to vote for someone that isn’t red and blue. Drop that mindset and tell everyone to vote for someone else
How do you think that’s going right now?
I think it’s going good, i may have illuminated someone in this thread plus everyone downvoting will soon realize how stupid and brainwashed they are being and switch their mindset in the future
Kanye logic…
I knew it was coming, have fun with that

What state do you live in, assuming it does not have FPTP voting?
I’m from a state that was once a monarchy until people decided to take action against that

The world is big
British, French, Spanish, Hawaiian…
So Hawaii…?
Which notably only has RCV for Democratic presidential primaries (where local politicians don’t compete) and special elections (since a split vote once gave a seat to a Republican). It’s very transparent where the local politicians were willing to draw the lines on pro-democracy initiatives.
We do have mail in ballots and are reliably blue though, so their personal third party vote won’t take any effort or change any results.
