It’s worth pointing out that in Maine, which has instant runoff voting, it was the Republicans who most aggressively opposed its implementation and sued to try to reverse the results of an instant runoff election that they lost. The voting system needs to be repaired, but even within the system as it exists, there is one party that has a proven track record of actively trying to make it worse.
i don’t think your overlords would let that happen if it meant it would actually represent your interests. people will only get what they want if they take a bit of power, not beg the rich to lend a bit of theirs.
Yes, if we just keep awarding their willful ineptitude with blind loyalty and unquestioning obedience for a couple more decades, they’re SURE to move the bar higher than “mostly not quite as awful as the alternative” of their own volition!
a starting point is class consciousness. politics is more than just voting every x number of years. on one side the longer we wait the worse it gets, but on the other many people are already doing what they can. fascism was defeated before a few times, we can do it.
Electoral reform, giving voters the freedom to vote for whichever party they prefer while ensuring their vote will count against the Republicans if their preference didn’t win.
You’re not in the neolib safe space so; no, voting dem without ever holding them accountable in over a hundred years on literally anything has caused this situation. Harris would have given you four more years, at most, in the most optimistic circumstances, before this happened. America can’t end any other way than this, and America is approaching it’s end regardless of what you do.

They’re going to nominate Liz Cheney next time lol
You say that as if the Democrats protect the people who vote for them
Maybe pass electoral reform in your state so we can be free to vote for who best represents us without a spoiler effect.

What’s your alternative? Letting the republicans and trump win? Sounds like a great plan guys

Wait, you’re not even American and you’re simping for their genocidal fascists? Buddy, it’s you who we’re facepalming at.
It’s hilarious when Americans tell people from other countries to stay out of their affairs. Real colonizer mindset. Enjoy your king trump, idiot
I’m not American, dipshit.
If you’re not in the US, then learn. Don’t have a choice that is only between two fascist parties.
