    And by you being so adamant about it, and trying to pressure people not to vote for third party, you are actually contributing to the problem.

    You’re actually reinforcing the very system that we’re stuck with. Instead of allowing space for new voices and genuine alternatives, that pressure discourages change and keeps the duopoly alive.

    I’m voting third party. Proudly. I don’t care how many people try to pressure me or bully me. I’m sticking with the Socialist party. Thank you!

      What you really mean here is that you don’t care about facts and that you want other people to adopt that same attitude.

      I’m not being “adamant” about it, just realistic. Until we do away with FPTP voting, I will continue to encourage voters to pick the candidate that is furthest to the left and also has a good chance to win, because that’s the pragmatic solution and the only route to viable third-party candidates.

        Which neither the Democrats nor the Republicans want to change. I will continue to encourage voters to pick the candidate that best fits their values, regardless of political party.
