Every election for the rest of our lives is the most important election of our lives. Don’t ever forget what has been done. Vote like your life and the world depend on it because frankly, they do. If you want another generation to grow up even close to the same quality of life we’ve had, it is critical to recognize that one party has been actively rolling back protective legislation over and over again against the better interest of the people of thos country and the world. Its absolutely disgusting.
Given the urgency of our predicament, wouldn’t you say it would be wise to use every tool at our disposal to maintain our democracy?
What if we tried using a voting system that wasn’t first past the post voting? That way, more then 2 political parties would be viable and there would be no spoiler effect.
Imagine several other people on that debate stage. Then it wouldn’t be such a knife in the gut to see a poor performance coming from Joe biden. There would be other people to back. Other people to compete for the office. Other people to not let trump get away with his bullshit.
How we vote is controlled at the state level, we dont need to wait for federal reform! In fact some states have already passed electoral reform.
Here is an example of what Ranked Choice voting can do for us all:
Everyone here wants ranked choice. It’s just not simple to pass. I do highly recommend that those who are able should push for a ballot initiative in their state and/or campaign for the issue. Do you have any links or resources for those who might be looking to get engaged further in those state-level efforts?

I agree but it’s getting fucking exhausting.
