US: "Vote for the lesser evil."
Europe: "Vote for the party you want and have them still be represented either as a coalition majority or during crucial votes where every party matters."
US is more like "vote against the guy you don't want in charge"
I don't really see how the outcome is significantly different. Even when a two party system, politicians still need to form coalitions of people with widely varying ideas in order to get anything done.
Voting third party stops being a spoiler vote. Leftists get to vote for leftists, instead of having to turn their nose up and vote liberal.
Ask Bernie Sanders.
US parties are coalitions
The fuck they are.
Maybe the coalition of the almighty dollar and American ignorance.
