First Past The Post voting artificially limiting the viable options in the voting booth means less competition. "Safe seats" and "swing states" shouldn't exist, our legislators must be forced to compete.

I think we all understand what happens when all you have to do to win an election is be less shitty then the republican party. There is no floor, there is no bottom, and it ends in the destruction of the USA.

But I'm sure the democrats think these risks are worth taking so long as they don't have to compete for your vote.
