    Which is irrelevant. Only R or D can win. Any vote that isn’t one of those is mathematically equivalent to a vote for whichever you hate more.

        There are efforts on pushing RCV or similar on a state by state basis, and there has been some success, I think they’re up to 10 maybe 15 states so far including red Alaska lol

          Has Stein ever said anything about it? That would be telling (more if she hadn’t than if she had, I guess)
