Yes, that is an accurate representation of the issue of FPTP.
What does voting for Jill Stein or RFK Jr do to change that in 49 of 50 states?
I'm saying that the problem here is that the problem isn't "Third parties" its "The Spoiler Effect".
You might think that's a distinction without a difference but if you say "We need to eliminate 3rd parties" that's a very different solution from "we need to eliminate the spoiler effect"
PS: Fuck that moron Jill Stein because she's only made this shit harder to talk about
