        … it’s just how FPTP works, mathematically. It will always devolve into a two party system, even if by some miracle a third party overtakes the republicans or democrats, we would still end up with two parties. FPTP is fundamentally broken like that.

        But voting for people that have no chance of winning just contributes to the worse evil

          I just want to point out that not only would this miracle help out our population (the US citizens) it would be a tremendous blessing on the whole world. I’m not even exaggerating; I honestly believe that.

          All it requires is enough people writing the same name on a piece of paper. Incredible isn’t it, how selfish we are as a whole.
