If you want to change the political landscape, about the worst way to do it is by voting in a FPTP election. If you want to change the political landscape, you should do everything outside of the election to change people's minds to support different policies, and then vote for the best viable candidate.

twodot posted:What's the point of voting for someone affiliated with a viable political entity who has no hopes of winning the race you are voting in? (edit: Other than obviously that you believe they are the best candidate regardless of affiliation with a viable political entity) It's not like you have anything better to do with your time.
