Our Democracy is hampered by a voting system that poorly reflects the will of its electorate, one that often forces us to choose between the lesser of two evils. But there are alternative systems, approval voting and score voting, which can do the job better.
Th choices given made the video depressing. Greens are just left-wing D's who have yet to be corrupted by power. Bush and the neocons reduced the GOP to being simply a party of war and anti-abortionism. And with the latter reduced almost entirely to lip service.
You're focusing on a completely unimportant aspect of the video.
You could switch Republican/Democrat/Green for Democrat/Republican/Libertarian; or Boxers/Briefs/Commando; or A/B/C. The point is that a group of voters gets a better (although still not ideal) outcome by NOT EVEN VOTING.
If you click on the video, it brings you to the YouTube page. There are 3 more IRV videos posted since this one went up. All on a different topic. Entertaining, educational, and TRUE!
If this guy hasn't, you need to make a follow-up video to this that shows how this might have gone in a Range Voting scenario.
