    No amount of shaming them

    Any shame induced by facing reality (that ignorant actions backfire) is self-inflicted. It’s a consequence of having enough pride to expect better of themselves. No one should like to feel stupid & the messenger did not create the reality they stupidly failed to appreciate. The power is entirely theirs to end their shame by dealing with reality & correcting their folly.

    or whining

    Ridicule isn’t whining. Failing to comprehend the consequences of their actions is their folly.

    about what you think

    Not thoughts: reality. Electoral rules have consequences.

    those people owe you

    You mean owe themselves? Only those who think they owe themselves would feel shame.

    Fools defeating themselves with their own stupidity is its own joy. Following the teachings of Jesus to love & support their enemies might earn them accidental sainthood!

    Clutch your pearls

    Who’s shocked or appalled by pointing out failure to recognize spoiler effect? Seems like someone’s butthurt over the reality of the spoiler effect & reality doesn’t care.

    Weak civics education or willful ignorance has failed a generation into self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

    a spoiler effect happens when a losing candidate affects the results of an election simply by participating

    Vote splitting is the most common cause of spoiler effects in FPP. In these systems, the presence of many ideologically-similar candidates causes their vote total to be split between them, placing these candidates at a disadvantage. This is most visible in elections where a minor candidate draws votes away from a major candidate with similar politics, thereby causing a strong opponent of both to win.

    Right, they’re not wasted: they help win the major candidate you oppose most. Giving your opponents unreciprocated support as Jesus preached is selflessly generous!

    Matthew 5:44

    But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
