The problem is FPTP voting which (just to explain for anyone who hasn’t heard this a million times) makes it irrational to vote for a third-party, because every vote for a party that isn’t the closest-to-center-bell-curve-left party is more likely to split the vote for left-leaning voters, and therefore functions as a vote for right (in the US’s case, fascist) party.
And the problem with that is, we need to implement ranked choice or similar voting in state- and nation-wide races for the situation to improve, which takes years of planning in every locality, and our attention is absolutely destroyed by constant crises.
Strange, I wonder why it shows 7.5m views for me (5 hours after you saw 10m). I wonder if Youtube gives different view counts by region, which would be…interesting.
