I understand that, but the First Past The Post voting method doesn't allow more than two parties. The third party doesn't act anything but a spoiler, it is impossible for it to ever win and your vote for a 3rd party is essentially the same as not voting at all. This is how disinformation is used to persuade people who don't want trump to not vote or essentially throw away your vote in protest.

I've been fooled this way in 2016 and don't want others to make the same mistake.

We should push on local levels to adopt RCV (Ranked Choice Voting) to allow voting for candidates that closet matches our goals without worrying about spoiler effect and someone who we really don't want winning.

Also a lot of how our delivery degraded was thanks to SCOTUS. Conservative judges ruled that money is free speech and sending money to politicians should not be restricted.

Second big hit was destroying voting rights act making out harder for unrepresented minorities to vote.

And guess what, during trump presidency he appointed 3 conservative judges and now it is 6-3 (conservative vs progressive) this is why Roe vs Wade was repealed and other shenanigans.

Those judges are appointed for life (so those 3 will affect us for decades) and there are another 2 judges that are at age that could be replaced.
