    Maybe pass electoral reform in your state so we can be free to vote for who best represents us without a spoiler effect.

      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.
