No it wouldn't, the two largest parties from that first vote would eventually consume everything else and then we'd be right back where we started.
Unless you intend to abolish FPTP, arguing your intention to vote third party is mathematically the same as arguing your intention to vote for the 2 party candidate who is least like you.
You do know a vote is worth more than just the tally it adds to your candidate right? A vote not changing the result of an election is not the same as not having an effect on politics.
No, it literally is the tally. Under FPTP it is entirely just the tally.
This math has been explained endlessly, trying to escape the proven math doesn't make you some believer in higher ideals and callings, it makes you complicit in the destruction of the republic.
Well claiming proven math just isnt the slam dunk you think it is unfortunately. But you are allowed your perspective, I just disagree with it.
The math doesn't care about your traitor perspective.
Defend the republic or be counted with the fascists who destroyed it.
How many people do you think who you've called a traitor are actually going to agree with your position for it? Its eerie how similar that rhetoric is to the republicans right now.
