It’s one of the things that I really don’t understand about the way Americans experience their elections.
Navigating a FPTP system necessitates a large measure of strategizing. You’ll almost never get to vote for the candidate you really want. But, instead of that half of them are like “THIS PARTY IS MY ENTIRE POLITICAL IDENTITY NOW”. And the other half is like “I’M NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR THE LESSER EVIL”.
And, dear listeners, the sum total of those two attitudes is that a lot of otherwise politically engaged people just effectively don’t participate in the political process at all, either through virtuous abstention or through abdication to the party leadership.
Of course, that’s all moot now since you’re effectively a fascist dictatorship.
