    Not seeing the problem with a two-party system is everything that’s wrong with you people. Is there no such concept of coalition where seats can be distributed by the parties on a consensus?

      My country has instant runoff and it’s great. We’re doing way better than the US. They should overthrow the government and implement communism, or at the very least an actual democracy.

      Now, do you think the communist orgs in America can pull off all that in the space between now and Trump enacting his plans for dictatorship? Or do you think maybe we should do something about the Trump problem BEFORE he kills all the trans people, immigrants, and communists in his country?

      We all see the problem. Ranked choice voting is only barely in the public consciousness, we’re still at least two decades away from realistically being able to challenge the two-party system the way things are going.

        When I first started advocating for it 24ish years ago (guess why), practically nobody had heard of it. Now most liberals seem to know what it is. And I think that’s a very important nearly-final step, because now every congressman does know what it is. The logic is obvious; it’s all a matter of honest awareness and dishonest BS.

        The hard part will be getting people to admit to themselves that they’ve been manipulated by de facto conservative Democrats for years.

      Everyone sees the problem, don’t be a patronizing dickfuck. There’s not much an average citizen that’s just trying to feed their family and pay their bills can realistically do to change that other than educate and vote.
