    At this point, I’m pretty sure this rhetoric is a result of deliberate ignorance about FPTP.

    There’s only so many times we can explain elementary math to you people.

      Deliberate ignorance, accelerationist “if we let the fascists win it’ll totally result in a communist revolution, trust me bro, you definitely won’t be one of the thousands whose bones are used for the foundation” idiocy, or actual fascists trying to depress left turnout. Take your pick.

        100%. It’s unfortunate that the “harm reduction” thing is overshadowing anyone talking about why we have to do harm reduction in the first place.

        The US as a whole seems more content on treating the symptoms of FPTP than taking care of the underlying issue.
