If you don't vote defensively, you are part of the problem. This is true whether you are in a multiparty system or the 'American one'.

I get it. You love your favorite politicians winning by the margins instead of shifting American electoral politics left, as conservatives getting elected doesn't make the populace magically more leftist.
I've read this about 4 times and I have no idea what it means
More people voting in the US → The political conversation shifts left as more progressive/leftists candidates are viable. A lot of elections in the US happen in small amount of votes, also known as narrow margins.
People not voting because not voting for the perfect candidate feels icky → As the conservative candidates are more favoured by people voting less, this shifts electoral politics right.
I would prefer to live in a world where Americans would vote between centre and left candidates, for instance, than centre and right (relatively speaking, of course) as they do today.
i never said don't vote. I'm planning on voting for cornel west.
You do you.
