    The absolutely biggest issue with the US election system is the first-past-the-post systems still in use, just use proportional representation.

    That will enable new parties to actually have a chance of being relevant.

    That in turn will enable better representation of minorities and special interest groups.

    Once the US is out of this mess, refrom is needed, get rid of the idiotic electoral college and any FPTP systems in use.

      just use proportional representation.

      Prop Rep is a hard sell. The part-person math is weird. Ranked-choice is an easier sell, so if you’re looking to get off FPtP get people used to more candidates with RC before going all in with multiplayer prop rep.

      You know how fucking lost you sound? I’m talking about how there is no possible way the GOP freely cedes power ever again and youre talking about fptp.

        Calm down, no need to swear, I am not your enemy, I am talking about what would need to happen after a potential revolution, violent or otherwise, to prevent this from happening again.

        Plenty of freedom movements have failed because there was no plan about what to do after taking power, or the plan was too vauge.

        This is something that needs to be considered before a potential revolution happens, there also needs to be plans for what to do if the leader of the revolution refuses to complete the plan after taking power.

        I am not lost, I am a few steps ahead of you.

        Relevant username? Go touch grass, bro. Doom scrolling and posting on lemmy won’t make you a happy person.

          I do fine

          Edit: lol at the downvotes.

          No you guys are right, I’m on the edge of a knife. I’m constantly flipping back and forth between jumping off a bridge or hanging myself in the basement. I see no light in this dark, damp, dreary, dogmatic, doomed world. I am fading, the light is fading. Hear my final bleating cry.
