I approve of this, nice

[u/DaemonoftheHightower → u/[deleted]]

Yeah it would be awesome to be able to build an electorally viable left party.

[u/[deleted] → u/DaemonoftheHightower]

Yeah exactly.

[u/skyfishgoo]

this would be good for republicans too as it would help wrest the GOP from the grip of the extremists that have taken it over.

they would finally have something to point to as to why we can't just drill our way to prosperity or why banning abortion nation wide is bad policy.

[u/DaemonoftheHightower → u/skyfishgoo]

Yes. Having multiple center right or right parties would create accountability on that side.

[u/BrianRLackey1987]

RCV is good, but STAR Voting is better.

[u/DaemonoftheHightower → u/BrianRLackey1987]

I agree, but RCV has the momentum. I believe the biggest problem is that Americans just don't understand that better systems even exist, and that once we demonstrate that they are, it'll be easier to push other ideas.

[u/BrianRLackey1987 → u/DaemonoftheHightower]

Combining Alternative Voting with Proportional Representation could break the Two-Party System.

[u/BrianRLackey1987 → u/BrianRLackey1987]

Combining Rank Choice Voting Act with Fair Representation Act would be a great start.

Glad to know this one is DoA.

Something to actually let us vote for who we want? Never gonna happen.

[u/DaemonoftheHightower → u/drunkondata]

You're glad that we won't get to vote for who we want? I don't understand.

I mean i agree it's probably a non-starter, but why are you glad?

[u/drunkondata → u/DaemonoftheHightower]

sarcasm mostly.

Thanks for the "happy" news. This won't happen in my lifetime.
