Yours and other comments have helped me understand a bit better. It’s a shitty situation to be in and I’m glad my country has preferential voting. Hopefully third parties get enough votes to at least get some attention.

They won’t be allowed to, things are not like this on accident, and I’m not sure what country you’re in but preferential voting will not solve this problem

Capitalism, and it’s popular form of faux democracy does not actually represent the people or allow them choice, it’s like when a parent asks their child would you like to go to bed early or work on your homework?

It’s not a real choice because either way they get what they want, which is continuing to hold power as a class, that being the capitalist or owning class, also called the bourgoise

There are very few places on earth where this is not currently the case

The US is a one party state, the capitalist party.

Julius Nyerere, the first president of Tanzania and a friend of Fidel Castro, made a similar comment in the 1960’s

“The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”
