These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,… whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

    If you’re so concerned about 3rd parties being a spoiler, then you must work towards replacing First-past-the-post voting in your state.

    With a more representative electoral system, people would be free to vote for those they feel best represent them, with their vote still being counted against the republicans.

    State level electoral reform is possible, some states have already done away with FPTP voting, and others are voting on it!

    Given how this structural flaw in our voting system can be repaired, and your high level of concern of the spoiler effect, I invite you to my asklemmy post to discuss your new commitment to replacing FPTP voting in your state after the election.

      replacing First-past-the-post voting in your state

      Yeah, well, incidentally, ranked choice voting was on the ballot in 2020. We had a sign out encouraging people to vote for it, and I talked it up to whomever it would listen when political discourse came up, but it didn’t pass, so here we still are.
