I agree. Mathematically speaking, voting is not a zero sum game. If it were, the spoiler argument would have merit. Interestingly enough, Democrats and Republicans who argue about spoilers tend not to support rank choice voting. They also don’t seem to understand the dynamic nature of politics and how supporting and/or voting third party (or not voting at all) shapes policies by making parties seek your vote.

Furthermore, I commend you for your support of non-interventionalist policies. They don’t work, they are ridiculously expensive, and they cost far too many lives.
