Looking to shut up those people complaining about both sides from the sidelines? Put them in the game by passing electoral reform in your state.

Since they seem to know it all, let them show us how it's done by replacing First-past-the-post voting, passing equal access and airtime laws, and switching away from a perpetual election cycle to something shorter and more reasonable.

Get them to prove to us they know how to do things by making third parties viable and doing away with the infamous spoiler effect that is inherent with FPTP voting.

More people involved in the poltical process, more people voting, more people voting = more democratic votes, more chances to defeat the republicans, more people to call out bullshit on the debate stage, no more canceled debates because of giant man babies.

Electoral reform is just win after win for the American people. I know the election season has people exhausted, but things don't have to be this way. We can be free.

The revolution will not be hosted on the fediverse.

I get why people say you "have to" vote against someone in a First Past The Post voting system. What I don't get is the inaction from the democratic party on changing the voting system between elections.

I wish the democrats had one tenth the urgency they claim to have. Democracy is one election away from falling... wouldn't you want multiple chances to defeat the republicans every election?

Democrats are so full of themselves, they won't accept that they might have to step out of the way to prevent the republicans from ruining this country. This fight is greater then the democratic party. They should start acting like it by pushing to get rid of FPTP voting in the states they control.

Love me some CGP Grey. Glad to see to understand the source of the issue here. Hope you have time to stop by my asklemmy post to discuss how to best resolve this critically flaw voting system after the election.

I just read you are concerned about 3rd party voters spoiling the election. Understandable given the mathematically flawed voting system most states use.

With state level electoral reform, we can get rid of First Past The Post voting and the spoiler effect that comes along with it.

citizens would be free to vote how they wish safe in the knowledge their vote would still be counted against those they don't want in public office.

We could pass this one state at a time. Some states have already replaced FPTP voting, and more are working towards it with referendums.

Given how possible electoral reform is, and your concern with 3rd parties being a spoiler, I invite you to stop by my asklemmy post to discuss your new commitment to replacing First-past-the-post voting in your state after the election.

and if she doesn’t move on the issue then she’ll reap what she sows.

But the next election will be the most important election ever and Republicans will be ready to commit N+1 genocides if elected.

EDIT: I already voted for Harris.

Is this the new "I condemn hamas" disclaimer everyone is required to have in their comments in order to criticize the democratic party?

Shame they didnt make a move. We could have been high together.

Or I could have been high and they could have slowly grown to resent me over the years... again.

And they wonder why getting married is a hard no from me! We don't need a government contract to love each other, to leave each other.

Stay or go, sall good bro.
