    Care to cite some sources?

    To my eye the easiest way to exploit a two party system is to provide both candidates. The act of tossing them aside can give teeth to the vote and demand better quality. I fail to see any obvious drawbacks to this.

    If implemented correctly it would not impact good elections and would drastically affect bad ones. Is that not ideal?

    Agree to disagree. Even a two party system could see improvement when there is a possibility of failure behind falling in line with ‘least bad choice.’

    It’s not a silver bullet - to be sure. but we’re talking about a patient on life support with multiple systems failing. There is no simple fix. We need to deal with each rot and disease locally as aggressively as possible… and be willing to excise anything that is a lost cause. This is triage.

    Edit: It would appear I was too soft in my discourse. I find it interesting that your position is essentially saying:

    “I’m correct and anyone who disagrees with my views on (irony here) democracy is a fascist or a troll”
