have you seen who they vote for? this is what they want
If the voting system trends towards two bad options which both get worse every year, how much does their vote reflect what they really want?
If they choose the worst option it's a signal they want to keep moving in that direction!
Only a tiny portion of people are actually psychopaths who would knowingly choose the worst option for everyone.
And thanks to gerrymandering that minority gets it's way half the time
Bingo. Voting for the lesser evil is still voting for evil.
Fuck that and not voting at all is voting for the popular evil then.
From their perspective voting 3rd party has the same result as not voting at all - that's an issue which main parties do not offer to solve.
There's always more than 2 choices.
