Well yeah but you have to get RCV first. But for the rest of us in FPTP land, we make do until enough of a movement for RCV is built — and you can’t build a movement for RCV while basic rights are being stripped away and you’re spending all your cycles on the back foot defending those and putting out fires. Eh, who am I kidding… The damage is irreparable, current Democrats (unless the party gets taken over by Mamdani clones) will just do their ratchet shit again and cement this as the new normal because they’re fucking useless.
In FPTP, not voting the lesser evil gives you the greater evil. It’s dead simple, but I’ll be the first to admit it’s a damn hard pill to swallow for us idealists (I should know, I was a Jimmy Dore fan in 2019-2020, took me ages to see through faux-left grift because it preys on idealism and perfectionism).
