Have higher standards, demand to have real options in the voting booth.

Electoral reform is not just for leftists looking for their first taste of representation in government. Across the political spectrum, we all deserve to have a real choice on how to best run this country.

Give republicans the chance to get off this stupid fucking circus carousel by letting them vote outside the two party system with no risk of a spoiler effect. The cracks are showing, set these people free from this walking corpse of a political party. Us too, thanks.

It's time to remind Congress that they work for the people

They do? Like I get that's the pretext for why we remain their subjects, but do we really believe they will ever work for us? The only people I remember them ever "working for" are white landowners.

Then maybe buy some land and paint yourself white. Problem solved, just think outside the box
