It seems pretty clear to me. Just suggesting that people who were advocating for that third party lady had some valid point and should at least be heard got me downcited to hell. Not saying people should voye for her, just saying listen to people who do vote for her get their point. This instant reaction to third party let me believe that choice is the last thing the system wants. Even after the election the idea of New parties kept being ridiculed, even though it would be the best time to push for it. I’m not saying that dr last is the right person. But you need options.

They’ve been doing this in particular for at least 24 years, since the 2000 election. It has been obvious that FPTP needs to go this entire time. And still only a handful of Democrats oppose it.
When election season rolls around, they’ll say that you just started and should wait for a more convenient season. They’ll tell you that the third party isn’t built up enough yet, and should go from 0 to 51% votes as all spherical voters coordinate perfectly.
They’ll tell you to “push for” all sorts of stuff without actually holding anyone accountable. Just protest with a sign that says “I’ll still vote for you but pretty please change”.
At this point it feels like they were only ever there to give the illusion of choice.
