Choice doesn’t matter until districting is codified into law with standards and a non partisan organization to oversee it. Until that tune comes, Democrats have been taking the high road for 50 years and losing the entire time.
Democrats are where they are because they like following rules. Republicans have an objective and want to see it finished. Following rules and decorum for 60 years has gotten Democrats nowhere. Democrats have to play by Republican standards otherwise the results will keep getting worse.
I agree the electoral college is part of the problem, but we’ll all benefit from ditching plurality voting and replacing with ranked choice voting or even star voting.
Voting third party is viable when we change the voting system, to ranked choice voting for example. Until that time comes, the two primary parties will remain dominant.
Other than they make great compost?
