Simply having something sane like score voting would make third party candidates viable and would increase the people attempting to run even with a difficult application process. We can then work on making it easier to apply.
It’s literally just replace FPTP with score (or even ranked choice) and things would improve from there even without other changes to the election system.
Tbh I don’t understand any difference between FPTP and other kinds of voting. As I understood, the only difference is the absence of 2nd tour in the first one (you get the most votes - you win)
Yes, but there are countries with ranked choice voting that still ultimately come down to “red neoliberals vs blue neoliberals”. They’ve built a machine that is extremely difficult to stop.
That’s why I say that 2 parties is almost the same as 1 party
FPTP voting is keeping us from having a functioning and free country.

You need more candidates and a simpler applying process first. 2 tour election won’t help in the current situation

Power Duopoly: not quite as bad as a Power Monopoly - a.k.a. Dictatorship - but not really the same as Democracy.
Yes that’s what I meant
In this topic. Can’t extend this vote to cover others.
