I think the good news is that we are taking the proper increments in the US.

  • Unions, which democratize workplaces and actually ease the burdens on the working class
  • Ranked Choice Voting, which has reached a few states, although it will take some time on a Federal level.

Beyond ranked choice, we really need proportional representation like so many of the more successful parliamentary governments

Yes, we need so many more reps. On every level it's kinda ridiculous, but I'm unaware of discussions about how to do it.

And we are slowly but surely moving the needle on LGBTQ+ rights and women’s rights. I agree we’re making progress. I disagree that it’s because the parties are both the same actually.
