”This helps take away votes from Joe Biden,” the activist told one person at the rally, according to a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) by a Washington Post reporter. “We’re helping the Trump team who’s trying to get him on there,” added a woman by his side.

    Let’s pretend we don’t know how FPTP voting works and don’t know what a spoiler vote is

      FPTP RCV is already getting banned in multiple states. It is nothing but a carrot to keep you voting for the both sides in power.

      As soon as it dares to come close to being reality the Democrats will get on board with banning it because “it’s confusing” just like the Republicans.

          My bad I meant RCV I was confused with another comment.

          The only way to break a two party system that agrees on every major bad policy is to have a third party win. Democrats are just Republicans these days and Republicans have become more hardcore right wingers.

            Ok. That still doesn’t address my first reply to you.

              What is being spoiled by not voting for Biden exactly?

              If anything Democrats are the ones casting the spoiler votes by shooting themselves in the foot and refusing to unite behind a third party.

                Oh… maybe you guys don’t actually know how it works.

                Even Republicans know. I think I gave “progressives” too much credit.

                  Republicans know that they have to keep voting Republican to make sure the blue guy does not win.

                  Democrats know that they have to keep voting Democrat to make sure the red guy does not win.

                  I’m seeing some similarities here.

                    They both know how FPTP voting works.
