    I’d much rather we had some more extreme third parties and a voting system that allowed them to exist.

    The last fucking thing I want is someone trying to be “centrist” in the modern US political spectrum. I’m pretty sure if you looked at historical candidates you’d find Ronald Reagan would be defined as a centrist in the modern world.

    We need to shift this broken ass Overton window back to the left.

        Not if we managed to drop FPTP - but until then I agree that third parties are unfortunately spoilers. It gave us Woodrow Wilson a man generally considered our worst president before fucking Trump showed up.
