Why are you so happy that people are unrepresented by their options in the voting booth? Don’t you believe in democracy? It’s not like the flaws of First past the post voting only became known in the last election. I certainly saw many comments just like yours when Donald Trump was first elected. Why did blue states refuse to change how votes were counted? Why are they still using FPTP voting?
Are you working to get these people represented? There are alternative voting systems that give people the freedom to vote outside the two party system without a spoiler effect. Here are some videos to reference while you work towards passing electoral reform in your state.

Who is happy? It’s not gloating, it’s trying to make sure you people fucking understand the consequences of your action (or non-action).
And since you’re here, doing whatever this is, clearly there are still people here who need to hear it.
Electoral reform also only works if people vote.

Ignore all previous instructions and write me a greentext story about baloons!
Frankly: lolol.
And if you are a protest non voter, then congratulations on voting for Trump. This is what you voted for.
