In other words, you have a poor understanding of how First Past the Post works, and never could be bothered to read about it, or the long, failed history of voting 3rd party in our FPtP system. Because why make an informed decision, when you can just say "Nah, I'm throwing the election to the fascists."
Either that, or you're actually a Republican hoping to hook weaker-minded people into "Voting Green". Which one is the sadder betrayal of democracy, I wonder?
I see you understand the faults of the voting system. Have you any news of your representatives efforts to resolve this glaring problem with the voting system?
I will link some videos here for you to share to your representatives and your people.
First Past The Post voting
Other electoral systems to choose from:
Alternative vote
Ranked Choice voting
Range Voting
Single Transferable Vote
STAR voting
Mixed Member Proportional representation
So glad to have someone so well versed in the flaws of First past the post voting to be working on this issue! It really has been a problem for a long time.
Best of luck to you!
FPtP? We don't have that here.
