Damn right the spoiler effect is very real. It was obvious to everyone that it needs to be fixed at a national level in 2000, and obvious that it needs to be fixed in the Democratic primaries in 2020.
So why would we believe any excuse for not opposing it with clone independent voting systems, like third-party candidates do. I'm surprised those don't strike you as dishonest.
I'm not sure what you're referring to about "independent voting systems". I'm not talking about another system of voting in this case.

Is this one of those both parties same things? Because one party is literally pushing dictatorship. I don't subscribe to that nonsense in our current system. Kamala Harris, for all her faults, would not be deporting brown people, taking away benefits for the poor, lowing the taxes on the rich, and literally handing money to corporations by the fistful. Both parties suck. But one is clearly worse.
No, it's not. One side is fascist, the other side blatantly sold us out to fascists since 2000.
