Tbf if everyone “wasted their vote” then the “waste” candidate could win, but the self defeating prophecy of “they can’t win so don’t even try” being so popular is exactly why “they can’t win so don’t even try.” It’s an ouroboros of dumbassery.
I mean, it’s not like The Whigs had a bunch of internal disputes and split off to join the newly formed 3rd party “The Republicans” who then went on to become way larger than they were in their beginning as a third party or anything, that’s why it’s still Whigs vs Democrats and always has been, 3rd parties like The Republicans are just a fad since the 1850s, you’ll see or whatever.
thats the meme tho
u can only vote within the rules, no free choice
I mean, you can freely choose to waste your vote…
And why is it set up that way that you’d waste that vote?

All I’m saying that it’s quite convenient for the parties in power that you can’t remove them without breaking their rules.
