We need to push for electoral reform so we don't run into this tired ass same old situation "lol better vote for the blue conservatives or it gets the red fascists again!"

The same tired drum beat, the same tired song. Round and round we go like we are on a carousel because this clown car is the star of the circus. It must be so ridiculous, because not only is the bread not free, bu t its recently increased 20-30% in price!

Longer then I've been alive, quite possibly long after I thankfully perish. Glad I got that vasectomy, and I fucking sure as hell wish my dad got one. Thanks for the wonder of life: paying monthly tribute to a landed lord, exploitation in every workplace, and a scam around every corner.

Are yall really so unimaginative that you can't picture a world with more then two viable political parties? Perhaps we are special in the head. Me too, thanks.

Switching away from first past the post voting allows people to vote for who represents them best while still counting their vote against those they dont want to win. Just search for videos on FPTP voting if you want an explanation on how and why the spoiler effect exists.

Electoral reform is possible in each individual state (for now), we dont need federal reform! Maine and Alaska have already passed electoral reform.

So what’s the hold up with the rest of the states? Consider starting a campaign to change how we vote in your own state! Force our representatives to compete with fresh outside ideas. We deserve the best representation, not excuses.
