Nah, fuck that IMO, even the name itself is beyond saving
A new actually progressive party that brings about a new system is the ideal path forward at this point if the goal is to meet the needs of the people and actually give everyone a chance, that’s my current opinion on the topic from my current perspective (saying this because things are changing quick so idk WTF is going to happen in reality)
Never going to happen until most of all states have ranked choice or star voting. First past the post is basically designed for only 2 parties.
Okay, if you believe that’s the way forward, what are you doing to further that goal? Or what do you believe are steps that folks can realistically take to bring that about as fast as possible, so as to prevent as much harm as possible?
That’s a good point. I have not been very politically active besides encouraging friends and family to vote. But I think a campaign for signatures for Star or Ranked Choice voting would be the first step, at least here in Florida since enough signatures should put it on the ballot. But Desantis is pretty good at squashing this stuff since it requires 60% approval. Not sure the method for other states.
