Go for it, but also vote D where they're the only realistic option to R.

Otherwise, support for a third party becomes support for R, as previously with the greens

Who says electoral reform only happens in blue states?

The comment I replied to

Electoral reform in the blue states must happen. Red states as well but we all know republicans stance on more democracy.

Hey, if you organise but vote D in the cases where it's the best chance to keep R out, I'm happy

If you don't vote D in the cases where it's the best chance to keep R out, you're effectively supporting R regardless what you're telling yourself. If you're also organising, nice, but if your organising is to convince more people to effectively support R like you, we'd all be better off if you quit.

Oh no, this option isn't perfect in every way for all people, and thus indistinguishable from being worthless?

Let the greater of two evils win until there's a perfect option to vote for. Got it.

If you do electoral reform in just the blue states, you strengthen the republicans who will then take all of the red states, and get a bit of some blue states

I don't really undestand what that means, which might be me just being dense

Very true, just look at Hitler and Mussolini, famously defeated by strongly worded letters and no bloodshed

Yeah, he doesn't seem to have been very nice.

Still, don't go shooting people because of religion.

It's not like we're limited to criticising just one thing.
