  • We don’t need to wait for the Republicans to stop existing before we get representation in exchange for our votes. With a more representative electoral system like Ranked Choice voting, people would be free to vote for those that best represents them, secure in the knowledge that their vote would still be counted even if their preference didn’t win. Still counted against the republicans.

    You see, we can have democracy and freedom at the same time. How we vote is controlled at the state level, so we should be able to make these changes in blue states where republicans have less influence.

    Unless of course, the democrats in power in those blue states aren’t interested in democracy.





  • First Past The Post voting artificially limits the number of viable political parties. This reduces competition in the electoral process. Legacy political parties get to run incredibly weak candidates, and mainstream media can run their bread and circuses about stuff that doesn’t impact the 1%s bank accounts.
