Our 'first past the post' voting system makes that strategy very dangerous.

We need a third option but we need a better vote counting system to make that third option not throwing away your vote. The chances of such a reform coming from Democrats are slim, but the chances of such a reform under Republicans are less than 0. Several Republican-led states like Texas have preemptively banned ranked choice voting because it's a direct threat to their hold on power.
