    but either one of two things is true:

    It’s worse. It’s both, which is in part why third parties don’t ever work.

    And the solution is election reform, not yelling “just vote for what you believe”. Because people just voting for what they believe causes spoiler candidates to spoil elections.

        purely on the basis that they work elsewhere.

        Do you mean working elsewhere, with elsewhere being other levels of government, or elsewhere being other countries?

        Either way I disagree, but I want clarification first.
