the problem is strategic voting in a fptp system. if voters would vote their values (assuming their values are anti-genocide), then it wouldn't matter.

1, voting is not harm reduction, and 2, that video has given you a false conclusion. the lesson we should learn is that strategic voting leads to party consolidation, and the only way to keep third parties is to continue to vote for them.

To not answer questions put to you after you pretend to be a master debater.

not answering questions, especially loaded or irrelevant ones, is a great debate strategy.

edit:

while i think they are picking a semantic fight about a topic on which they are not prepare to engage, your engagement has been kind of shitty toward them, too. i think you could be better and still show that they are silly and ignorant of the topic.

discussing direct action online is literally illegal. why are you trying to bait me into committing a crime?

if they wouldn't vote for Democrats, then it doesn't matter how many people vote for a so called third party

All evidence from previous elections indicates this.
