Why we’re leaving El-Sayed’s spot on the ballot blank | Opinion [from democratic party members]

Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
I have definitely heard people say that unironically. Makes me sad.
What it says essentially is "the person with the most votes becomes president", via the Electoral College, and that's the entire structure of the process.
So there's always one person with the most votes, and the next person with almost-the-most-votes. Over time that solidifies into two parties.
We first have to get rid of the Electoral College before we can do anything else and that involves removing parts of Article II. Until then, third parties will not get any (or very few) Electors = it's a duopoly.
