MODERATORS
As an non-american, how this is not crystal clear even for the most hardcore communists is an absolute mystery to me.
Because the US first past the post system ensures there's only two parties. So unless you can threaten one, you don't have input.
They don't even have FPTP. They have an electoral college. Basically more states have a larger voting power than others.
The US has both. FPTP elections, and the presidency controlled by unequal votes depending on state.
Because itβs logically stupid and ushered in fascism.
As a non-american, you aren't close enough to notice that the people who say this are taking advantage of the situation and have been for decades.
Civics education is bad to nonexistent so they do not learn about the spoiler effect, let alone the inevitable math behind first past the post elections. People vote based on how they think the system ought to function instead of how it actually functions.
"If you don't accept genocide like I want, you don't understand how anything works!"
You like the system how it is because you get the results you want.
As a non-american, here in my country leftists vote for many different parties, each too small to actually pass the threshold
