    The problem is people who have the perspective that you vote against the worst candidate rather than for the best one, in my opinion.

    Have you somehow not heard of “first past the post”? The people who have that perspective, with regard to the US presidential race, have the correct perspective.

    Third party votes don’t matter in FPTP. Until that changes, a vote for third party works in the Republican candidates favor, thanks to FPTP, plus the electoral college.

      Sort of, its a self fulfilling perspective to believe the two party system is about picking the least worst of the two.

      If the majority of people would vote for their best party/candidate then things would change from getting worse to getting better.

      Im of the opinion peoples perspectives need to change before policy or regulation will, but I wouldnt say not to try and change it through election reform.
