    Portrays the other parties as all rainbows and kittens. Particularly that libertarians would be about fighting climate change, which they would not be in any vaguely effective way.

    However, I’ll grant that ranked choice voting would be an excellent way for people to feel better about their vote, be pragmatic, and one day lead to more viable “parties” (though not immediately, the third parties are a self fulfilling prophecy of unlikely candidates to most voters)

    Ok now do one that shows nice long tracks. And where if you vote to destroy the country, they stop sending weapons around the world to kill everyone when there is a local civil war happening.

    Now how many people outside the US borders are being murdered at a point in the future?

    Is your assumption that third parties solve all our problems if they win?

    The problem is the system, not the Individual actors involved. Yes there are some differences, but not enough to fix our current disasters.

    Great, now set everything on fire to represent climate change? 🔥

    Somehow those old movies where villains wanted to reduce the population of the planet are actually happening irl… 😞

      yes everything is on fire and track 1 has a few extinguishers but not enough.

      track 3 has an indeterminate amount of fire hydrants because i think it depends on which party actually gets the seat.

      track 2’s extinguishers have gasoline in them 😭

        Wouldn’t that make them “tinguishers”?

          technically yes but the Republican party calls them extinguishers in order to fool voters that are concerned yet poorly educated about climate issues
