The thing which drives me up the wall about FPTP and “lesser evil” moralizing is that, given the FPTP voting system, the onus is on the party to put forward a candidate who can win a majority. Don’t blame the voters for the party’s failure. The democrats are putting up a shit candidate, so if they lose, it’s their fault. Not the people. A real tail-wagging-the-dog situation.
If you believe in democracy, then you must believe that power comes from the people, not that power whips the people into line.
