      The presidential vote isn’t where we fix the voting system. We have to work in the system we have. It’s just reality.

      My assessment of you hasn’t changed - you’re either completely ignorant or want Biden voters to change to third party to help Trump.

      Every interaction with you has a similar quality. I’m never sure if you’re just this stupid or if you know exactly what you’re doing.

          The system exists as it is…. I don’t know any other way to say this. FPTP has a spoiler problem that you can’t wish away.

          I’m not going to vote for a candidate that’s going to get maybe 2-5% of the vote.

          I would like to bet you $1000 that either the Dem or Rep candidate will win. If anyone BUT those two win, I would pay you.

          If you ACTUALLY believed anyone else will win, you’d take me up on it. What do you say?

              I’m sitting here trying to convince you that FPTP results in a two party system. I’m betting on the two parties.

              YOU are the one imagining that can change by simply voting 3rd party.

              So, you down for a bet or what?

                  He is one of two possibilities.

                  And you’re not going to bet because you know it too.

                  And now we know you’re not ignorant to this fact. You’re encouraging 3rs party votes knowing very well they will not win.
