I also want to abolish the 2 party system. It’s the only way we will ever see true progress or stand a chance of reducing the influence of the rich.

Duverger’s Law says that voting systems with a single winner will result in two main parties emerging with votes merely drawn away by other parties.

In other words, voting 3rd party in our current system won’t make a 3rd party viable. At best it will replace one of the parties.

Instead, if you want a multi party system, the most effective way to achieve that is for you to work on getting ranked choice voting in your state.
