I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

How does who you vote for in the presidential election promote RCV? How does it reduce genocide? The action you promote advances neither goal. I will grant that if you're in a secure state, your vote will have little chance to affect the presidential election, but it also won't serve as a wakeup call to the winners of the election that FPTP needs to go.
You seem very confused. My point is people are pissy about the election because they're absolutely petrified of trump and are acting like 3rd party votes have any impact one way or another on who wins (they dont).
RCV is related because it removes the spoiler effect making these entire conversations disappear. Which i can only count as a good thing because the conversation is stupid and most people are not capable of having a comprehensive understanding of how our election structure interacts with fptp. They see cgp's video and think they have an understanding but completely ignore the interplay between congress, the president, the electoral college, down ballot effects.
I'd say you're the confused one. None of what I said contradicts anything in your response, and nothing in your response addresses any of the questions I asked. I can only assume that's because the answer is obvious and you don't want to acknowledge it.
I directly answered this. it doesn't but its related to the conversation because of how it will the environment.
it doesn't. but it would get idiots to shut up about non-existent spoilers. and indirectly might let them actually vote with their conscience on genocide instead of their fear of trump.
