for a good lesson in our shit system, people should study ross perot. he provides the ring wing mirror image of the problem of 3rd parties in the USA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_United_States_presidential_election
ross perot gave us bill clinton. he torpedoed george hw bush sr
people have to understand 3rd parties, in our *current* voting system, does nothing but help the other side. period. end of story
we need ranked choice voting *first*, then we can vote 3rd party

@benroyce@mastodon.social Is ranked choice voting a realistic possibility? I can't imagine either party embracing a policy that increases democratic representation and threatens their duopoly. @too_little_caffeine@dotnet.social @jonesmurphy@mastodon.social @farlukar@mas.to @mkoek@mastodon.nl
