George Takei  🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽Oct 1, 2023
It’s finally clear as day. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has announced he will run as an independent for president. He’s backed by GOP funders, and his goal is to peel away Democratic voters from Biden. Don’t be fooled by shiny third party traps. To stop Trump, we need to unite behind Biden. A vote for anyone else is a vote for Trump.

For those who believe in third parties, maybe this educational animal video will show how our First Past the Post (or Winner Take All) voting system will always favor 2 parties and cause 3rd party votes to favor the candidate we dislike the most.

@mrblissett @georgetakei it's annoying that the system will never change, because whoever you vote for won't want to change it

It's not totally dead! It's gaining traction in the US.
