Which is irrelevant. Only R or D can win. Any vote that isn't one of those is mathematically equivalent to a vote for whichever you hate more.

Therefore, her supporters are either disingenuous plants, or people who's can't be bothered to understand how elections work.

The US really needs a preferential voting system, or some other solution that doesn't lock it into a shitty 2-party hegemony

There are efforts on pushing RCV or similar on a state by state basis, and there has been some success, I think they're up to 10 maybe 15 states so far including red Alaska lol

But the tankies/Russian bots/right wing trolls/whatever never bring those efforts up, the very efforts that would actually lead to breaking the 2 party system for once

Has Stein ever said anything about it? That would be telling (more if she hadn't than if she had, I guess)
