Not my fault you cant see in color, and only see red and blue. The divine right of kings seemed inalienable, and look where we are now. Also, I don't give a shit about down votes lol, I've seen the garbage you guys up vote!

You just told someone who told you they work with 3rd party and advocacy groups and who told you they want RCV and popular representation that they're "colorblind?" Are you drunk? That reading comprehension is getting you again.

You also said voting third party splits the vote.

Dialectical thinking. Examine the material and concrete conditions around the situation and act strategically.

Acting out of pure ideology and applying a purist rule makes you no different from MAGA. Arguably, it defeats the very systems you supposedly want to build.

Are republicans a fascist death cult? Yes. Is the democratic establishment helping them usher in fascism? Yes. So maybe vote for the individual that has a chance of winning that calls out both of them and has policy that counters fascism regardless of what label they have. If this wasn't a FPTP system in America, the situation may be different and my response would be different. That's not the reality we find ourselves in yet.
