    we need to at some point have enough courage to start voting for a third party

I agree that we desperately need to get rid of the two-party system. But voting for a third party simply doesn't work. First Past The Post is defective by design.

It's not just an uphill battle, it's Sisyphean.

Even if you win once, Four years later we go back to a two-party system. I don't think it's possible to get out without abolishing First Past The Post.

Thanks for the comment/video. I don't disagree with what it asserts but it fails to mention the primary process which essentially gives some potential for variance within a two party system.
