“The second challenge to a third party is both statistical and tactical. Duverger presents the example of an election in which 100,000 moderate voters and 80,000 radical are to vote for candidates for a single seat or office. If two moderate parties ran candidates and one radical candidate ran (and every voter voted), the radical candidate would tend to win unless one of the moderate candidates gathered fewer than 20,000 votes.”
2016 had a historically high 3rd party voter turnout (6%):
2020 only had 2% 3rd party voter turnout. But no that can’t be the reason a soon wanna-be dictator will take over your country again soon (and proceeds to fuck up the world). Nah…just show it to genocide Kamala. Your voice matters. Vote for Jill Stein. She’s so cute, isn’t she?
Reason for deletion: “Misleading name for a theory”
What does this even mean? I just quoted “Duverger’s Law” which is could be proved multiple times in plurality voting systems, especially in 2016 and 2020 in the US.
Also: David MF Duke from the MF KKK endorsed Jill Stein. Now go and ban me if you want.
Jill Stein was endorsed by David Duke (KKK).
I’m sure it has to do with Duke being a really conservationist, nature loving guy who wants to support renewable energy.
And Stein investing in fossil fuels and tobacco must be because she wants to heroically rob the execs of their money.
Duverger’s Law:

Wait, so they’re saying “Duverger’s Law” is really just a theory? That’s not quite as dumb as calling evolution “just a theory”, but it’s up there.
