Yeah, yeah, Republicans are an existential threat right now, but there’s a whole wide world left of the Democrat party. There’s other US parties (not viable, but that’s not their fault).
But crap like this not only highlights how broken the electoral system is, but it helps perpetuate it.
Canada voted a guy in on the basis of electoral reform and nearly a decade later we have no changes there and political theatre mirroring the two party american way of “don’t vote for him, he’s way worse than me!”
We need our politicians to be accountable for inaction, misrepresentation, excessive lobbying, and failure to provide campaign promises.
You know what pisses me off with this crap?
The two party crap.

It just gets old
Get rid of FPTP, and get genuine representation, then you’ll see some change, but since that isn’t what the rich guys want, it wont happen.

Current parties (both of them) will never fully support ranked choice voting because both of them still like their odds in FPTP.
