If we replaced First-past-the-post voting with something that let people transfer their votes if their preference didnt win, there wouldn’t be a spoiler effect.
Then multiple parties could compete on who can beat the Republicans the best. Debates could be held even if Republicans dont show up.
These crucial reforms arent front and center in every blue state, so the democrats want the spoiler effect. Democrats want things this way. Democrats want people who are unrepresented by the two party system to remain unrepresented, right alongside the republicans. Both sides want the two party system to exist.
Unfortunately for the two mainstream political parties, the United States of America is more important then either of them. We will begin to heal when people get the chance to vote for who represents us best. Yall get to decide when that begins. Choose wisely.
Normally this is where I would link some videos on the flaws of FPTP voting, and on much more representative electoral alternatives. Those times have past us by.
Brace yourself, “both sides same” is coming.

Good luck everyone.
Exhibit A.
No, we blew up those datacenters.
Unfortunately they’ll figure something out by then.
I like to spread that message, along with a helping of “there’s no point in voting, it’s all rigged anyway”, in right wing message boards.
People should vote, but how we vote is broken and we should have fixed it decades ago.
Peaceful revolution is not possible.
