Here are some cold hard Ameri-facts for you:\n
\n
- Having 2 dominant political parties is a reflection of **how our political systems have been designed at almost every level** (federal, state, local). American politics is very much based on first-past-the-post, winner-takes-all elections. These kinds of election systems are terrible for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the very real problem of [vote splitting and the spoiler effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vote_splitting#%22Spoiler_effect%22)--leading to "third parties" which are almost all unserious, nonviable, and potentially backed by people with ulterior motives. The vast majority of the time, voting for a third party candidate in America is simply throwing your vote away and is effectively the same as not voting. (Even as a "protest", it's not a very good one, because it's never clear what can be interpreted from why people vote the way they do.)\n
\n
The solution to this problem is changing how we run elections so that the most popular candidates are more likely to win, and so that people's individual votes are less likely to become nullified in various ways (like by voting for a statistically nonviable candidate, for one). I like **Ranked Choice Voting** and **STAR voting**, but just about anything is better than the way that most American elections currently work.\n
\n
- Even in a hypothetical future where we have 10 viable parties (and more democratic voting systems), no political party is going to "give a fuck about you" as an individual. Republicans, Democrats, Greens, Libertarians, Vegetarians, Librarians, and whatever other parties spring up. The truth is, they *all* only give a fuck about getting your vote, so that they can get in a position of political power to do the things that they and their influential backers want (all the while reaping the benefits of doing so). There is no political party on Earth that is in it for the benefit of all of mankind--they all have some kind of agenda and ideology that they want to put in place.\n
\n
In that way American politics is like a tug of war, we current have 2 viable parties, one pulling the rope to the left and another pulling the rope to the right. You can spend as much time as you want lamenting where the rope currently is compared to where you would like it to be. But if you want the rope to move left, it makes sense to join the left side. And if you want the rope to move right, it makes sense to join the right side. Sitting out just makes it easier for the "other side" to make "progress". Having more parties doesn't really change that, it just turns a 1-dimensional battle into an n-dimensional battle.\n
\n
The biggest benefit that comes from having multiple (viable) political parties is increased competition of ideas. But again, America truly require huge *systemic* changes to how we run elections to make that a reality.\n
\n
I'm going to be voting for the party that more closely aligns with the *direction* that I want the country to move in. It's the only smart move in the game of American politics.

Here are some cold hard Ameri-facts for you:\n
\n
- Having 2 dominant political parties is a reflection of **how our political systems have been designed at almost every level** (federal, state, local). American politics is very much based on first-past-the-post, winner-takes-all elections. These kinds of election systems are terrible for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the very real problem of [vote splitting and the spoiler effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vote_splitting#%22Spoiler_effect%22)--leading to "third parties" which are almost all unserious, nonviable, and potentially backed by people with ulterior motives. The vast majority of the time, voting for a third party candidate in America is simply throwing your vote away and is effectively the same as not voting. (Even as a "protest", it's not a very good one, because it's never clear what can be interpreted from why people vote the way they do.)\n
\n
The solution to this problem is changing how we run elections so that the most popular candidates are more likely to win, and so that people's individual votes are less likely to become nullified in various ways (like by voting for a statistically nonviable candidate, for one). I like **Ranked Choice Voting** and **STAR voting**, but just about anything is better than the way that most American elections currently work.\n
\n
- Even in a hypothetical future where we have 10 viable parties (and more democratic voting systems), no political party is going to "give a fuck about you" as an individual. Republicans, Democrats, Greens, Libertarians, Vegetarians, Librarians, and whatever other parties spring up. The truth is, they *all* only give a fuck about getting your vote, so that they can get in a position of political power to do the things that they and their influential backers want (all the while reaping the benefits of doing so). There is no political party on Earth that is in it for the benefit of all of mankind--they all have some kind of agenda and ideology that they want to put in place.\n
\n
In that way American politics is like a tug of war, we current have 2 viable parties, one pulling the rope to the left and another pulling the rope to the right. You can spend as much time as you want lamenting where the rope currently is compared to where you would like it to be. But if you want the rope to move left, it makes sense to join the left side. And if you want the rope to move right, it makes sense to join the right side. Sitting out just makes it easier for the "other side" to make "progress". Having more parties doesn't really change that, it just turns a 1-dimensional battle into an n-dimensional battle.\n
\n
The biggest benefit that comes from having multiple (viable) political parties is increased competition of ideas. But again, America truly require huge *systemic* changes to how we run elections to make that a reality.\n
\n
I'm going to be voting for the party that more closely aligns with the *direction* that I want the country to move in. It's the only smart move in the game of American politics.
