    It’s about systemic incentives, blindly hoping for a change in people’s behaviour is foolish at best. First past the post causes the same issues in every country it still exists today, it clear to see. That’s why most of Europe doesn’t use it, and hasn’t for a long time too. The US has an outdated democracy and we all wish you good luck in convincing others to update it.

        Even small gains save lives, and pretending the Democrats are identical to Republicans is disingenuous at best. Don’t be immature, vote. Direct action can happen in parallel, but wasting your influence only enables your enemies. You’d be foolish to think otherwise, and waste time arguing against your own interest.

            while providing legitimacy to the two party regime.

            I don’t think this matters a whole lot when the two party system is older than you are.

            That’s great news for most Americans as they clearly do not share your interest. Democracy seems to be working.

            Your personal next step should be convincing others you’re right, if possible, not pursuing minority rule.
