    It’s so sad that that is the best available option.

    People who don’t want to vote for Harris over Palestine, please watch this video: https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

    You’re basically doing exactly the right thing, and just not factoring in an obscure yet critical piece of context, which this video lays out. When that context is factored in, it totally flips the call on who to vote for, even though none of the values change.

      This whole idea that its a bad system rests on people using it in a negative way instead of a positive one. It relies on people figuring out who’s the least likely to win and then moving votes appropriately.

      You dont need to base your vote on who got what last election. You dont need to be so embarrassed the person you voted for lost, that you need to change your values and vote differently.

      Everyone should be voting for someone not against someone. I think popular vote will help with this if it passes in enough states.
