But how do we tell that to people who will decide not to vote or who will vote third party?
I don’t know. I’ve it out rationally several times to people who then get angry and emotional about it. These purity test commenters are the same way. Their position isn’t based on reason, and it often seems like showing reasoning to them won’t change their mind. But fighting certainly won’t help either.
I think the thing you gotta do is just remain as non-confrontational as possible and explain the game theory/the math behind why it works. And let them know it’s not a condemnation of their dislike of the system, or of Biden, or of whatever. You can hate something and still vote for it, and that can still be the best choice too. Just don’t fall for the bait from those commenters who think their being cute by picking fights or turning it personal. Keep it rational. Maybe the person you’re talking to won’t change their mind, but a 3rd person who reads the conversation later on might see how you’re being rational and making points while the other guy is just being stubborn, argumentative, and irrational.
