Oh, now it's "could have".
The "spoiler effect", "lesser of two evils" logic is irrelevant. The population, under a "representative democracy" system, must follow a process by which they select the BEST candidate and elect them. That is the only rational course. Not splintering off by the millions, and then even an overwhelming majority, into the psychotic logic that you must vote for a politician based on whether or not their party affiliation won the previous election. THAT REMOVES ALL ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THE POLITICAL SYSTEM.
That is not "adulting up", that is compromising the fate of humanity to mass murderers. And you STILL have not addressed the issue that the entire population is fully capable of voting for ANYONE, specifically, PEOPLE WHO AREN'T MASS MURDERERS. That the best course of action, absolutely INDISPUTABLY, is to SELECT AND THEN VOTE FOR THE BEST CANDIDATE. Not the SECOND TO WORST CANDIDATE.
Just stop replying to me. This is absolutely disgusting and you're flat out creeping me out at this point.
