This argument gets thrown around all the time...
... and they know it's bullshit.
And this is their reaction around 2 years after the election...
... when they realize the candidate that won is just as bad, if not worse than the last one.

It's not the candidates. American politicians do an excellent job representing the stupidity and close-mindedness of their constituencies.

Elections are based on who wins the most districts, not the popular vote unfortunately. In order for a third party to win, you need more >

That system discourages third party voting then. How are seats in the senate won?
