    Even if a third party rises up and unseats a major party, we’ll still revert quickly to a two party system and the issue will persist. This is what I mean about it being a vanity vote: it solves nothing.

    If you want to dismantle the two party system, you have to change how we vote. That ain’t coming from the top down. Get out locally and support groups and policies that push star or ranked choice voting. This is how we get that change.

    Voting in a presidential election, as of now, is a strategic decision. For the vast majority of people, that means voting for the “lesser of two evils” as much as we hate it.
