      They are technically correct in that a first past the post system will always reduce to a 2 party contest. The fact that conservatives are more consistent and reliable voters is where that distinction breaks down in reality. Non-voting and splitting the left wing coalition hurts the Democratic Party more.

        I’m more right leaning the left. So I guess I’m your statistical outlier. Harris won my state. Doesn’t matter, the oligarchs have gained more power.

        The democratic party should get to it replacing First-past-the-post voting then. Stopping the Republicans is priority right?
