There are alternatives. That there aren't is the lie they want you to believe.
Winner takes all makes sure there really aren't tho. Outside of the most local races you cannot be an independent or some other 3rd party. I get what you mean and I advocate it when I can, but the presidential is not a realistic goal.
Not in a world of first-past-the-post. If you want actual third-party options you need to support ranked choice voting.
I of course support ranked choice voting, as well as I support having a democrat debate then a primary vote. Bernie and Gavin would destroy old Joe, which means it should be one of them up against Trump doesn't it.
Bernie already lost the primary in 2020. He's too far left for most Democrats.
For Gavin you can just point at San Francisco.
