Nope. I prefer not to succumb to the terror scam of greater evil in FPTP’s duopoly/monopoly scheme. Many people do so succumb. They see the two parties with the biggest numbers (the biggest chance of taking power), and vote for the one they find to be the lesser of the two evils. Maybe even preferring it and believing it not an evil. But that only heads to more and more evil. And so, a strategy traversing several elections may be required to get the evils unentrenched, if not accomplishing some mass spiritual awakening. Convincing those who only vote for those they perceive as likely to win, may require lots of voting for “a third party”, sufficient to get the attention of those who vote in such a pattern.
And so, no magic happens here to make me have no preference, just because it serves crooks to disregard my preference.
