    It’s worse than not voting. Because of the Spoiler Effect, voting 3rd party actually helps your least favorite major candidate.

      Howdy. I heard you are very concerned with the spoiler effect and people voting for 3rd parties. In case you didn’t know, this is a structural flaw of First Past The Post voting.

      We can change how we vote at the state level, we dont need to wait for federal reform. Given this fact, and your publicly stated concern with the spoiler effect, I invite you to swing by my ask lemmy post to discuss your post election commitment to replace FPTP voting in your state.

      If successful, you wouldn’t have to worry about the spoiler effect ever again!
