    Ok, but in a practical scenario, elections are happening and we only got 2 candidates for the main role, each from one of those two extremely simplistic, easily marketable positions. What will you do?

      I’m assuming “I don’t do politics” in this scenario is abstaining from debate, not abstaining from voting at all. Of course you go with the side that aligns best with your beliefs.

      My point is, if you’re talking to someone, and all they’re doing is waiting to see which shibboleths you spit out to decide if they hate you or love you, then you aren’t going to get any meaningful discussion out of them.

      Work at the state level to replace First-past-the-post voting with a voting system that let’s people transfer their vote if their first preference doesn’t win.
