I do think it would be a lot easier if we did not have any parties at all. However, I don’t think anybody’s going to go for that. I do agree with you that more than two would be a very good thing. I think the only way to accomplish that is by removing the electoral college and putting ranked voting In place. That is going to be difficult because it’s not up to the federal government how a state handles its voting.
Guaranteed healthcare would be nice.
I don’t want innocent people to die any more than you do. I also don’t think the US should be handing out weapons and cash to Israel anymore. However, there are relationships in place that are favored by a lot of powerful people. It’s also not a topic that “center” people care about. So when it comes to the presidency, pushing that topic is not going to win them any votes.
It sucks, I know. One step at a time. And the next step is preventing Trump from getting into office again. I’m not overjoyed about the road we are on either, but that is the road we are on at this moment.
Here’s a graphic that I like to show people that illustrates just what FPTP does to the voting makeup of Sweden’s government as a point of comparison.
This graphic is a tad old now but it still paints the picture perfectly of how the two party system fucks us.
I would like to stop feeling “totally fucked” when the house or senate flips red. A multicolor system—A rainbow if you will—would be far less stressful and I think would get a lot more done.
Me too! It is maddening.
