Yeah but it's true. It's better to ensure Republicans don't win than try to get your third party in. The problem is not the mindset of the people, it's the first past the post voting system. If they used ranked choice voting instead, it wouldn't be a problem.

Yet this endless cycle continues if we always vote for one of the big 2 rather than voting for someone we actually like.

Ranked choice voting comes with its own set of problems. Personally I think approval voting would be best, and then Star voting after that.

No voting system is perfect, but just about any other choice is better than what we've got right now.
