the video learned the wrong lesson. party consolidation is the result of strategic voting. values voting is the solution.
You just completely missed the point.
You literally cannot "values vote" your way to a functional First Past the Post voting system.
And trying to get others to join in your misunderstanding of basic reality is actively harmful to your, and their interests.
Maybe that's the problem. You don't want to admit that you're the bad guy...
values voting is the solution. it's plain as day that the reason party consolidation happens is strategic voting. a refusal to compromise preserves a diversity of parties.
I'm not a bad guy.
You're not bad, and I'm sick of the infighting. But denying the reality of the fundamental flaws in the electoral system is just ignorant. Idealism doesn't work when the platform to implement those ideals is broken as fuck.
