Hello. So it seems you’re highly upset about people voting outside the two party system. Did you know there are alternative voting systems in which people can vote for whoever they want, all while still counting their vote against those they don’t want in office if their preference didn’t win?
With electoral reform, people would be free to vote for who they think is best. First-past-the-post voting is mathematically flawed and will always result in a two party system. This leaves a large portion of the population unrepresented by the artificially limited candidate pool as is evident by the number of people not voting.
How we vote is determined at the state level, which means we can pass electoral reform one state at a time. A couple states have already replaced FPTP voting actually.
Given this fact, plus your dire concern for 3rd party voters and the spoiler effect that is tied to First-past-the-post voting, I invite you to stop by my ask lemmy Post to discuss your post election commitment to replace FPTP voting in your state.
You wouldn’t be indifferent to your fellow countrymen and women not being represented fully would you?

I appreciate the effort but I’m not American. I simply follow American politics because sadly American politics impacts the rest of the world.
