    49% of the country is voting for A

    49% of the country is voting for B

    2% of the country is voting C

    Idunno guys, I just feel like if we work really hard to siphon votes away from B, we can make it work

    Because the mods are fascist, I have to reply as an edit to this comment.

    We don’t disagree. I would kill for ranked choice voting. However, right now we have to deal with FPTP, and we need to vote like it. You’ve seen this math before, because this is the math that we have to do.

      Yes, I have heard this math. Many, many, many, many times. Now, try the math where this is a democracy, we have the right to vote for whoever we want, the election results aren’t magically predetermined, and the 100% can be subdivided in any way among the group of all candidates - so long as the population, or even just a majority of it, isn’t religiously locked into the idea that they must vote for whatever candidate has a specific label or color next to their name.
