    For a third party system, It’s not about losing it’s about making sure those other guys lose.

      It about making the guys who you hate least lose, ironically. Voting against the other guy is already baked into FPTP, so if you vote for a 3rd party you’re voting against both the main parties. Except the party you hate the most would’ve already gotten your anti-vote anyway, so really you’re just adding an anti-vote to the other party, which is adding a handicap to them that wasn’t there before.
