    wave of downvotes and idiots screaming about RCV even though that’s not a disqualifier

      But you’ll continue to support democrats in higher offices until your third party has support in lower offices and a functioning party structure, right?

        No!!! The lesser of two evils is still evil so I’d rather vote for a weak 3rd party candidate to help secure the win for the more evil candidate

          If it were only that, but traditionally 3rd party candidates are all the rage 2 weeks before the US elections, and then the day after the elections they’re gone from the discourse, and you’ll hear nothing about them for the next 4 years.

            Jill Stein is like a 4-year cicada cycle. She emerges, screams for awhile, then disappears again
