There are better ways to stop third-party presidential voting-

107. Did Ken kick your puppy or something ?

You consistently condescend to him in thread after thread, and speak to him as if he were a child when you damn well know you have been wrong about the assumptions you have made about him in other threads. In any thread in which he comments at all, you are always right there to insult him and and insist he get "into the real world." While they seem individually free of defineable personal attacks, when read as a body of posts yours have been aggressively antagonistic, dismissive, and insulting to Ken specifically, without any apparent reason. You seem to be his personal playground bully here, and I think that sucks.

One of the "silly ideas" he mentioned in the OP is Instant Runoff Voting. You have post after post here saying proportional representation would never work, and then dismissing everything else as "amusing," but you dont seem to speak to IRV at all. Do you undertsand how IRV works? It is specifically used to encourage minority parties to participate while mitigating their splinter effects. It allows someone to say, "Well, If it were up to me, Lefty Lefterson would be in charge, because I support x,y, and z that they stand for, but if my candidate fails to reach a large enough number of votes, my second choice is Center McCenterly because we cant allow Righty McTaintstain to win under any circumstance."

What prevents that from working here ?
