In 2000 they 100% did and we're still paying for that shit.

Not true, Gore won Florida in 2000 but it was stolen by the supreme Court in favor of Bush https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Brothers_riot

Even with all the bullshit the Court pulled, Bush ended up winning Florida by such a razor-thin margin that it would have only taken 0.5% of Nader's Florida voters to tip the election to Gore.

Third-party voters gave the GOP the opportunity to steal the election.

But not the near majority of conservatives. The five hundred voters are entirely to blame.

That was my first presidential election. Naive year 2000 me thought "Oh wow this is a huge obvious problem, and Australia already fixed it! It'll be a part of the Democratic platform by 2004."

To this day, I vote for any Democrat who supports ranked choice voting (or any clone-independent voting system).
