yeah
I find it strange when people want a president that understands the people but refuse to vote for a third party candidates.
People are led to believe only two options exist, and they vote accordingly, even when those choices are extremely unappealing.
It's also a matter of coverage. Third parties weren't allowed into the primary debates, if I remember?
True.
#shithole is the trending tag we deserve
The problem being in the US, there actually are only two options.
CGPGrey did a great video on the problems with first-past-the-post voting systems
Well, a third party is *technically* possible, but it would take so much coordination and the entire country voting them in via the "write-in" option.
Basically, yes. Unless the third-party can win in their first running, they're guaranteed to never be more than 'voting for those guys is why that person I dislike the most won last time, so I won't this time'
Seems third parties have to get the support of 15% of the electorate to even be included in the debates.
The spoiler effect is real
And how do they reach 15% if people don't see them as an option?
i think a third party would only be viable if big money is taken out of politics (lol)
No
It would require a fundamental change to the very voting system used.
From FPTP to something like Single Transferrable Vote
Are those similar to ranked-choice voting?
