If voting third-party really gave us better candidates, you would not be complaining right now. |

1. If the two parties gave us better candidates, I wouldn't be complaining now. |

3. I guess, if you pretend that the primary process doesn't exist. |
|
Or if you pretend that it's not your job to win the rest of your party over.

5. As long as we have a two-party system with the spoiler effect built in, I'll be complaining |
|
Multi-party, proportional representation.
But you can't have multi-party until you FIX the spoiler effect (i.e. if a minority votes far-left, the center-right guy wins over the center-left guy). There's lots of ways to fix it, and as far as I know no one *best* way.
