In a place with first past the post voting, two parties will dominate and then it does become a sports game.

Two player games are fundamentally different than three or more player games, in terms of which strategies are optimal to win.

Ranked Choice.

Or STAR

Or fucking anything better than what we have now.

All the well spoken amoral greedy fuckers know exactly where to go to maximize their personal upsides from those "skills" in a system where power alternates between only two political parties.

Power Duopolies created through mathematical rigging of representative allocation systems are better than outright One Party systems but not by much and certainly not Democratic or in any way close to representative of the entire interests and beliefs of millions of human beings.

I've actually lived in countries with FPTP and with Proportional Vote and the way the latter countries are managed is vastly better than the former and even public discourse a lot more produtive.
