I never said to unconditionally vote for the Democratic candidates to begin with so the rest of your response to this imagined position is moot.

Y'all always play this little game. "I didn't say that, don't put words in my mouth." OK then, say unequivocally that that is not your position. Say that it's valid to place conditions on voting democrat. Then explain what possible condition could be more valid than "no genocide."

You just don't like me rephrasing your position bluntly.

I’m advocating for maximizing the power of your vote in the system we currently have. If you’re living in a district in a state with any kind of ranked choice voting, absolutely vote third party if that’s where your alignment falls.

No, you have it completely backwards. I am going to vote according to my values and beliefs. If they give me ranked choice voting, then I will happily put them above the Republicans. Otherwise, they will acquiesce to my minimum demands or they will not get my vote.

Third parties just aren’t viable in districts without ranked choice, so to get ranked choice we the voters need to put candidates who support election reform in power thru the major party primaries. Which is exactly what I’m advocating for

Oh, you're one of those. "My car broke down." "Well then, just drive it to the mechanic!"

The problem that ranked choice is meant to address is that the current system does not provide a viable means for us to get policy enacted. Your "solution" is to keep using ineffective, broken means in the hopes that it will somehow be effective at fixing itself. If we could achieve RCV through the existing system, then we could just achieve whatever end policy we want through the existing system. The logic is incredibly backwards, putting the cart before the horse.

If you had an ounce of spine, then you would demand RCV, then you would say that you should only vote for those candidates who support it. And if enough people did that, perhaps it could be achievable. And I'd certainly have more respect for your position.

As it is, your position is simply complete, unconditional support for the democrats, and then you say some irrelevant shit about voting reform to distract from that fact. Like, "It would sure be nice if the king decided to institute democracy out of the kindness of his heart, I'll keep supporting him either way though." If that is false, then address my first paragraph.
