    Because if enough people do that, it actually can result in that state not “doing what it always does.”

    Assuming voting for X is going to result in Y getting elected over Z “anyways” is not a good strategy for getting what you want.

      What I want is more than 2 fucking options. What you are assuming is that I wouldn’t get what I want if a conservative won NY. For this to happen there would need to be a mass exodus of democrats abandoning their party to vote conservative. So for that to happen either the democratic candidate is God awful or the conservative is a homerun. Either way I dont give a fuck.

      I vote for my interests in state and local elections. Presidential elections in NY are the least concerning elections as they should be for every fuckin American.

        If you want more than two options vote for Democrats in primaries that support ranked choice voting initiatives. As it stands, you realistically have a binary choice and until you have ranked choice voting that will continue to be true.
