So you aren’t familiar with first past the post voting? Here’s a hint, it’s “how voting works” in this country.
The more people seen voting for alternative parties the more apparent the electoral systems failure will become.
But sure sit by and watch the groundhog day that is the american electoral system.
I can't wait for those alternative parties to get <10% of the vote while fascists destroy the country and never give a shit who you voted for.
since democrats and republicans are both fascists, the only way to vote against fascism is to vote for a party other than them.
It seems like you don't actually know what fascism is.
I certainly do.
Buddy, if you think Democrats are as Fascist as Republicans, you literally have no fucking clue what Fascism is.
If you aren't worried about who will win in November, because you think they're equally bad, you obviously are privileged enough not to be affected by the consequences of a Trump win.
Who is this pointing it out to? The major players are already very aware that it’s fucked but only one party is doing anything about that (ranked choice). If your voting block is so fickle then they will turn their focus to shoring up their core bases, ignoring yours. The other side sure isn’t interested in any improvement.
After 2016 there was no one saying “wow we should have talked more about basic income”, the existential threat to democracy was kind of the bigger deal there. Even after 2020, the slim majority in congress limited the progressive power and handed the decisions to the center right dems (Sinema and Manchin).
But sure, splitting the vote to dilute the pool further or hand a win over to the other side will sure move the needle.
