    If you have a problem with this line of reasoning then your actual problem is first past the post voting.

    Abolish first past the post voting and you can finally actually vote for things you like, rather than against things you hate, but we’re stuck in first past the post voting, so, you must vote strategically.

      Just curious, do you really expect Republicans or democrats to support legislation to end their stranglehold on American politics?

        “In 2023, 74 bills were introduced supporting ranked-choice voting and 57 of these bills had only Democrat sponsors. In fact, just eight percent of the total bills received bipartisan support.”

        No, but there’s one party that has shown support for it and one party that has attempted to outright ban it.

        It’s an easy choice.

        Dictatorships are a terrible place to live because the wealth of the nation doesn’t depend on the citizens. Illiterate slaves can dig-up a mine.

        Democracies on the other hand are better places to live not because the people are better, but because the wealth of the nation is dependend on the productivity of the citizens. That’s the only reason you have a highway to the hospital.

        Vote in the party you think will enact change, and protest / halt the economy until changes start happening. Right now politicians and corporations don’t care nobody is happy, it’s not affecting their bottom line. Id argue in recent years they accelerated their abuse because there are no consequences.

        The parties in place won’t do it themselves, the people need to do it
