Really you don't need to read more than one chart:

If you vote for anyone other than Harris, you're voting for Trump:

So you get… support for getting rid of FPTP. But no actual changes because you’re lucky to get 5% of the vote.

I think in reality you get to feel like you’ve washed your hands of it and “did what you could” and then after the election you can say, “hey, I didn’t vote for them” and feel good inside.

In other words, fuck all.

We're all getting fuck all until that percentage is high enough. Like I said before, doing what you're doing weve been falling behind developed countries on all the metrics i care about.
