Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it’s already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

No, that’s not how our system works.

In our system you never vote FOR anyone. You are always voting AGAINST the worst candidate. That is literally how it is set up. That is the definition of a two party system.

Voting against a worst candidate is not propping up that system. Because one of those candidates is going to win either way due to the electoral college.

If everyone, literally everyone, that was Democrat decided to vote Green, then they’d still lose. Again, electoral college. Nevermind the fact that getting everyone to do it is literally impossible.

What you described is also not how our system works. The Electoral College does what it pleases. See the elections from 2016, 2000, etc. I do agree that the EC is a major issue in this.

That too. Faithless electors are a train wreck waiting to happen. some states have laws thankfully, but not all, and that’s a huge issue.
