The fact that the relevant electors are Electoral College members, and not the general population, doesn't change FPTP.
Further, the Dems are unambiguously the better option. Them not being good enough doesn't make than worse than Repubs. Expecting them to change is not a voting strategy. Running about it as "rewarding" them is counterproductive. What needs to change out is progressive turnout, Once we have the turnout then we can start talking about better alternatives to the Dems. Until then it's a moot point. Progressives refusing to settle for the lesser evil is why they don't have 70% representation
