I did and FPTP suggest the two most similar parties should merge… that is, unless the most similar party enjoys playing the controlled opposition. -In that case they might not merge but then supporting the opposition party continues to enable the party in power. So while it takes time for the Democrats and Republicans to merge, I’ll be out here voting and advocating for real positive change.
it made it easier for Joseph Biden to win?
Do you have any metrics for how much change you’ve personally affected through protest and “advocating?” as my vote counted for ~1:153,000,000 (not counting for delegates and electoralism.)
Tangentially, in 2020 I watched people protest police and its abusive practices, then when the same people got a chance to vote for the Democrat, he responded by increasing support for police nationwide.
The other reason I ask (and my tangent only reinforces this idea) is because there’s an infamous paper from Princeton in 2014 that suggests sitting politicians Don’t care what you think. -Direct source to the paper cited

But with FPTP your vote for a third party changes nothing. It simply makes it easier for the other two to win.
Advocating and protesting work. That drives change.
