Reduce the influence of parties by passing state level electoral reform. Replace of First-past-the-post voting, use a voting system that let’s voters transfer their vote if their first pick didn’t win. Give 3rd parties the opportunity to participate without a spoiler effect.

You do support democracy right?

Rule 2: Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

You got a temp ban for calling people children, stupid/delusional and trolls. We can all see your moderation history by going in the menu under the three dots.

Oh I see you told people to die just a month ago. Hope you get well soon.

Deep down the blue conservatives understand that the democrats cannot change because that would upset the donors for their billion dollar campaigns.

The strawmen keep getting bigger and bigger in these threads. Pretty soon they will be so big we will be able to host burning man. While I am sure said voters do exist, they were not the millions of votes that the democrats needed.

It would be incredible if democrats got rid of First-past-the-post boring in the blue states they control so people could be free to vote outside the two party system with no spoiler effect. But capitalists hate competition.

As we can see by democratic inaction on reforming the voting system at the state level, democrats want to continue the hostage situation they present in every election. This is not democracy. Forcing people to vote for your preference will never be democracy. Thus the voting system flaws must be treated like the crisis that it is.

We must be pushing for electoral reform in every state, but why is it so difficult to get the supposed democracy advocates in the democratic party to start moving towards making these critical reforms happen in states they control?

Feel free to make excuses for the democrats. Feel free to attack me all you want. State level rlectoral reform will continue to be the nonviolent way out of this mess. I hope yall come around, even if it probably is to late.

Well, there it is. Life will… find a way.

So bring our own bin and pickup the stuff other people dropped as well?

I bet Half life alyx was supposed to be HL3, but the tech wasn’t there yet so the project changed.

The system also ensures that one of the two parties has a majority, making governance and passing legislation easier.

It also tends to lead to a polarized political environment, where compromise and cooperation between different ideologies can be difficult.

LoL! Okay, they aren’t ready yet. At least these things are fun to play with.

Do you think the two party system properly represents the American people?

ChatGPT said:

The two-party system in the U.S. has both strengths and weaknesses when it comes to representing the American people. On one hand, it provides stability and clarity, with the two major parties—Democrats and Republicans—offering distinct platforms that can help simplify voter choice. The system also ensures that one of the two parties has a majority, making governance and passing legislation easier.

However, the two-party system can limit political diversity, as it often forces voters to choose between two parties that may not fully reflect their views. This can leave many people feeling underrepresented, particularly those with more nuanced or third-party preferences. It also tends to lead to a polarized political environment, where compromise and cooperation between different ideologies can be difficult.

In short, while the two-party system has worked for providing structure and stability in U.S. politics, it does have drawbacks in terms of broader representation, especially for those who don’t align neatly with either major party.
