The size and scope of an election doesn’t really affect the fact that you must vote (and run) strategically for FPTP to pick the best candidate if the race has more than two people running and it’s not a landslide.
If you could explain yourself, then you’d have done so instead of asking me to figure it out. Believe me, these short comments are the maximum amount of time I am going to waste on you.

Well a lot of small elections don’t even have 2 candidates.
Like city treasurer and positions like that for smaller cities.
Even for mayor sometimes. Alderman.
You can be an independent and win those a lot easier.
The meme we are discussing concerns the effect of a spoiler candidate, which is something that you can’t have with fewer than three candidates.
Yeah but then I said independents have better chances in small elections.
And gave examples to clarify what I meant.
You agree right ?
I have no reason to talk about uncontested elections, as they’re completely unrelated to the topic here. I have no idea why you’d bring them up.
Maybe scroll through the conversation to see why it was relevant.
