      There’s tons of things we could do to improve it. But it will take a huge amount of political will that Americans just don’t have.

        Yeah. My option is a baindaid but helps clear the murkiness out a bit. Gotta start somewhere as it’ll take a decade or so to get us back to being anything resembling a great nation. Right now we are a fear mongering hegemony war profiteering oligarchy.

        Literally does nothing in the US system and is the fastest way for the fascist party to complete their takeover.

        Anyone advocating for this I’m assuming is either a troll or a paid shill.

          Agree to disagree. Even a two party system could see improvement when there is a possibility of failure behind falling in line with ‘least bad choice.’

          It’s not a silver bullet - to be sure. but we’re talking about a patient on life support with multiple systems failing. There is no simple fix. We need to deal with each rot and disease locally as aggressively as possible… and be willing to excise anything that is a lost cause. This is triage.

          Edit: It would appear I was too soft in my discourse. I find it interesting that your position is essentially saying:

          “I’m correct and anyone who disagrees with my views on (irony here) democracy is a fascist or a troll”

          The ability of the populous to reject what is offered is necessary to maintain a balanced system. I’m not exactly certain what you are expressing there but I stand by this belief.

        Didn’t Canadians explicitly reject it?

        As much as I think a ranked choice system would be an improvement, I don’t think it solves the underlying problems of Capital’s dominance of all of society’s decision-making institutions and it’s really just something for politics nerds to fixate on that regular people don’t understand or care about.

      Got my primary pamphlet recently, I was so disappointed to see the non-partisan rcv supportive candidate wasn’t running this year. They nearly won last election, too 😭
