    I’m actually for ranked choice, instant runoff, etc. I would like to be able to vote for a non-mainstream candidate in plenty of cases. I am just not confused about how voting actually works today. West and Stein aren’t any more confused about how voting works than I am they are aware that the only possible effect they can have is to help Trump in 2024.

      Well I am not voting for West or Stein. So those are issues you would have to bring up with them directly.

      If you truly support ranked choice voting and breaking the duopoly, then you should understand that the fight starts with challenging the status quo, even if it’s uncomfortable.

      West and Stein know the system is rigged against them, but that doesn’t mean they should sit back and let it continue unchallenged.
