You’re correct in most of the world, where instant runoff is the norm. But drag thinks we should also let the Americans know that they should be voting Democrat, since they have a broken system where only votes for the two biggest parties are counted. Any American who didn’t vote for every Democrat president is almost as responsible for climate collapse as the Republicans.

Broken systems don’t get fixed from within, especially by a party that helped make it this broken.

And there hasnt been a dem that did anything at all regarding climate change since gore gave up and sold useless carbon credits.

That’s right. That’s why we need a revolution. And that’s why we pick the shark with fewer teeth until we’re organised enough to do it. You can’t fix the US electoral system by voting. Voting third party isn’t going to save the world. You need to give up on your false hope that your vote is for doing good. Your vote is for delaying the bad. You delay the bad by voting Democrat.

You don’t delay the bad. Homelessness rose faster under Obama and Biden than bush or trump. Not that the latter two were better in any meaningful way, just the facts as they are. Voting democrat does nothing, voting Republican does nothing. It will always just end up with you worse off. Sometimes, randomly, sooner, sometimes later. If it were as easy as vote Dems to slow down the bad, things wouldn’t have degraded for so many so badly that Trump was considered a good candidate to them.
