    Then a new party will form. Again, if the votes are not split 50:50 and it’s pretty much only on the lesser evil, then a good alternative party can easily grab the votes of the frustrated citizens without risking “splitting the vote and letting greater evil win”

      What are you talking about? This is not a hypothetical. That’s what already happened. And a new party didn’t form. Because we were kept being told to vote for the lesser of two evils.

        Tell me one single election where the lesser evil part got more than 60% of votes? Let alone 90%

          Explain what makes you think the lesser evil would change anything when they’re doing 90%, and don’t claim the greater evil would simply disappear or change. The influences behind any of them that use money to push right do not care, and we have seen times and times again that the lesser evil has no intention of reducing that influence. Guess why.
