    This video explains it quite well:

    Minority Rule: First Past the Post Voting by CP Grey.

    The system isn’t designed to be a two-party system, but no matter how many parties there actually are are (in the US, there are actually more than a dozen active parties), FPTP voting inevitably results in only 2 being viable.

    This will not change unless a different voting method is implemented.

      that’s the beauty of it, really. We can shift our personal responsibility as voters simply by saying the other dude is worst.

      For example, I voted for a genocider and I dont even feel bad about it. Coz the other dude is worst. See how it works?
