Then maybe get a stronger Democrat candidate so you don’t have to worry about that person losing votes a third party.
Simple as
Could be the best Democratic candidate of all time and that would still happen. It’s silly.
If you want to do something productive and not shoot yourself in the foot, spend your time advocating for the abolition of FPTP and an alternative ranked voting system.
Well, I think we should end the 2-party system, so not an issue for me.
The spoiler effect is position based, not strength based.
I don’t care about a spoiler effect. At all.
I don’t vote “against” who I’m afraid of winning. I vote “for” who I’d like to win. Not based on odds. Or fear.
If a party is concerned, then they should get a more popular candidate.
I don’t care if you don’t care.
The spoiler effect is position based, not popularity based.
The “spoiler” effect argument assumes votes belong to the two major parties, but in reality, votes are earned by candidates who align with voters’ values.
Supporting a third party challenges the status quo, pushing major parties to address issues they might otherwise ignore, and reflects the true diversity of voter priorities.
So no, I don’t care. And for someone who doesn’t care that I don’t care, you seem to be pushing it really hard. I’m not voting for your candidate. And I won’t stop posting articles to this community. Accept it.
No, it doesn’t. The spoiler effect is about how the introduction of new candidates can change the outcome of an election, such that a previous winner loses because of the proximity of another candidate. Here is an example of it:
But that never happens. The two main parties always ignore everybody except for what their establishment wants for the most part. The DNC didn’t learn from it’s lesson in 2016, it’s not going to learn from it’s lesson in 2024. And the RNC is obviously even worse at learning lessons.
You’re not the one I am trying to convince here.
I do not care. I’m only here to disprove you wrong about your claims about the spoiler effect. You are wrong both on a mathematical level and a practical level.
And you and I have already talked about this. We’re done talking about it. I don’t believe in it, and that’s my opinion. You are free to feel the way you want. So you have proven nothing to me.
And if you continue this conversation with me, I will block you. Again.
Your opinion is dumb! And that’s my opinion.
And I am ok with that.
It’s also some people’s opinion that the moon landing was faked. Not all opinions are of equal merit. And yours in particular when it comes to the spoiler effect flies in the face of the evidence. That evidence being the evidence I literally just showed you.
The math shows it’s true. You can bury your head in the sand if you like, but you can’t make the rest of us join you. Accept it.
Go for it. If you can’t handle honest critical thought, that’s on you.
Thank you. Just did! :)
