Thunberg added that “no matter” which one of them wins, America “will still be an imperialist, hyper-capitalist world power that will ultimately continue to lead the world further into a racist, unequal world with an ever increasingly escalating climate and environmental emergency”.

I do wonder if first past the post is something she knows about.

Not a good stance from her, though lots about the general vibe is right.

First past the post argument only applies in states where the races are competitive. It doesnt apply in deep red/blue. If 15% of your population can swing 3rd partywith no change in results it no longer applies.
