  • I just read you are concerned about 3rd party voters spoiling the election. Understandable given the mathematically flawed voting system most states use.

    With state level electoral reform, we can get rid of First Past The Post voting and the spoiler effect that comes along with it.

    citizens would be free to vote how they wish safe in the knowledge their vote would still be counted against those they don’t want in public office.

    We could pass this one state at a time. Some states have already replaced FPTP voting, and more are working towards it with referendums.

    Given how possible electoral reform is, and your concern with 3rd parties being a spoiler, I invite you to stop by my asklemmy post to discuss your new commitment to replacing First-past-the-post voting in your state after the election.









  • Hey, remember when the liberal party of Canada ran and won on electoral reform? And then just went “nah bro” and didn’t get anything done about it?

    Oopsie daisy gee golly isnt governing hard? Not that you would know because youre not in their club and you will never get a chance to govern.

    Looks like now you have to vote for the liberals again or yous gets the conservatives again. Ahhh shucks ding dang it. What a conundrum. Quite the pickle ain’t it?

    Sound familiar?


  • We don’t have to wait for Republicans to want to become socialists (what the absolute fuck is this line of thinking?). We can have more then two viable political parties with a more representative electoral system like STAR voting.

    How we.vote is.controlled.at the state level as well, so we don’t need a miracle to pass in congress to get these changes. In fact, some states have already passed legislation that replaced First Past The Post voting. Others are voting on it in referendums soon to!

    So it’s possible, gets more people involved in the political process, and gets more votes for democrats.

    we just need convince the DNC that democracy is a good thing.
