I’m tired of pretending strategic voting is normal. In this video, I break down how vote splitting under first-past-the-post keeps wrecking elections—especially in Canada—and why picking the “lesser evil” candidate isn’t democracy. I explain how ranked choice voting, approval voting, and other reforms can stop this madness and finally let us vote for what we believe in without handing power to the party we hate.
