i've been well aware of us electoral problems for a long time.

I'm assuming your video is either about ranked choice voting or the electoral College?

I am happy that Americans have finally learned about ranked choice voting this election cycle and are eagerly spreading the news, I really am.

it is "idiotic extremism" to blame third party voters for systemic problems.

you want third party voters to vote like you vote.

That's fine.

but they don't have to listen and them voting for Jill Stein or anybody else's just as valid as them voting for kamala.

it may not be as effective, or logical this election cycle, since Harris has already enacted so many third-party progressive policies, but everyone should vote for their preferred candidate.

yup, FPTP videos.

I am very glad Americans are finally paying attention to this part of electoral reform.

you can track down gerrymandering, registration purges, and several other significant problems in the US electoral system that actually difference your elections.

after you collect them all, it is glaringly obvious that third party voters, who vote for good candidates, unjustifiably receive the brunt of ire that should be focused on systemic electoral policies.

voting is good.

it is good that people are voting for third party candidates.

it's great that people are voting for Harris.

voting is good.
