It sounds like it’s young people (under 25) who don’t understand exactly how bad it will be if trump wins.

I’ve survived a lot of shit presidents. Trump is the first one who actually scares me.

Hopefully they will do the right thing when it comes time to actually vote.

Even Dick "I did 911" Cheney is against him. He's an actual evil person who thinks Trump is too evil

Too evil for Dick Cheney is a very special form of evil indeed.

In a way, this is all you need to know right here.

They aren't wrong. At least not in spirit. In a non-stupid system they'd be correct at every level.

Until everybody in the conversation understands the contents of that video, you aren't at the point where you can have the conversation meaningfully. It changes the whole game.

And once they understand it, the remaining conversation may just be a mutual nod of understanding. First past the post is a third party killer, and not because the idiot populace lacks the will. The actual voting math itself is the problem, and ranked choice (or similar) solves the voting math problem in a way that third, fourth, fifth parties can exist and win, instead of debuffing allies and by so doing helping their enemies.
