Why are there only two options?

Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts.

Me too, thanks.

I don’t get this release schedule. Why not make it a TV/streaming show.

Electoral reform at the state level so people can vote outside the two party system with no spoiler effect.

AOC? The same AOC that voted to prevent the rail union workers from striking?

Uhoh! Someone is below the 10,000 word caveat requirement! That makes you a secret russian Republican terrorist!

“We need a Republican party that is principled and strong” - Joe biden

People are dumb, people are uneducated, people have short attention spans, people are undecided, but people also don’t know if they should vote in the face of a realistic takeover of the US by a fascist movement scenario. Maybe it’s time we take away democracy from people who are actively disengaging from it. Once Trump is president again, it will be too late. End him and everybody who follows him.

The quiet part is a bit loud in this one my blue conservative “ally”.

Its not secret. I want to dissolve the two party system and force the legacy political parties to compete in a free market of ideas. If they arent competitive because their muscles have weakened from long use of First Past The Post voting as a crutch… that’s on them.

ACA is exactly what young voters wanted

Young voters wanted rebranded RomneyCare?

I see you understand the faults of the voting system. Have you any news of your representatives efforts to resolve this glaring problem with the voting system?

I will link some videos here for you to share to your representatives and your people.

First Past The Post voting

Other electoral systems to choose from:

Alternative vote

Ranked Choice voting

Range Voting

Single Transferable Vote

STAR voting

Mixed Member Proportional representation

So glad to have someone so well versed in the flaws of First past the post voting to be working on this issue! It really has been a problem for a long time.

Best of luck to you!

Clowns are fully represented by the two party system.

Replacing First Past The Post voting with a more representative electoral system such as Ranked Choice voting would allow more then 2 political parties to be viable with no spoiler effect.

This would increase engagement as more people would be represented by the extra parties. This would increase voter turnout and… going off of your own post… would increase the number of voters for the democratic party.

More democracy, more representation in government, more democratic voters. A win win win for the people of the USA and the DNC.

Since the electoral system is managed at the state level, one must wonder why the democrats haven’t implemented this easy win mode in the states they control. It’s clear democrats understand the faults of First Past The Post voting. Just talk to any one of them about voting third party and they will go on and on about how its a wasted vote. Well if you understand the flaws of the voting system so well, why haven’t you done anything to fix the problem? For longer then I’ve been alive…

How would the republicans prevent this reform if they don’t control these blue states? Who is standing in the way of electoral reform in these democratic strong holds?

If you believe the Republicans are an existential threat, you should be on board with using every tool available to prevent that right? That means passing electoral reform in your state ASAP. We should be asking our representatives why they aren’t using every tool at their disposal to defeat the republicans.

Trump doesn’t care about you just as much as biden doesn’t care about us.

I wonder how a civil war would work out with nukes…

capitalism just progressing to it’s natural end stage.

Also…

First Past The post voting artificially limits the number of political parties to two. This allows the legacy political parties to run incredibly weak candidates since there is no competition in the electoral system.

With a more representative voting system (much like Ranked Choice voting) people would be free to vote for the person that best represents them, while still counting their vote if that candidate doesn’t win.

Because you have to beat trump since the democrats are cowards and can’t even lock up someone for inciting a rebellion.
