Yeah cause that worked very well in the US in 2024.

In countries with a true democracy, ranked choice voting, true multiple parties, sure. In the US and similar countries, absolutely not.

Best analogy I heard about this is that you in a bus with 10 people voting for a driver. 5 people the driver that wanst to drive off a cliff. 3 people vote for the driver that wants to go to MacDonald's. The other two don't vote because MacDonald's is unhealthy so bothe sides are equally bad.

    2024 is the result of 'lesser evil' over 50 years. This bed was made by democrats and they don't like the result.

    Well nothing in the US will change unless there is non stop protesting and strikes. Not voting, or voting independent will not change anything while conservatives vote red no matter what.

    So vote for the lesser evil, and when they win get out there and protest everyday for them to make things better.

    Another liberal that has never a single word of US political history. We've had generations of 'lesser evil' and the only result has been greater evil and a higher tolerance for evil

    OK the, enlighten me. Realistically, how would you have stopped Trump from being elected in the last election in a way that did not involve more people voting for Harris?

    Are you telling me that the world would be in a similarly bad place right now if Harris had won?

    What is missing in the US to make a change is the willingness to get out and protest, like France does. Not a march one day here, one day there, but month long protests and general strikes.
