If it's "probably impossible" then can you explain why Alaska and Maine have already been successful implementing electoral reform? Why are several states working towards getting rid of First Past The Post voting right now?

It's not impossible. This reform is possible at the state level. We don't need an act of God from congress to make this happen. It's already happening, and it can happen in your state to!

Yo dude.

Worried about malicious interest groups funding 3rd parties? When we pass state level electoral reform, people would be able to vote how they wish, secure in the knowledge that their vote would still be counted should their number 1 preference not win.

I encourage you stop by my ask lemmy Post to discuss your post election commitment to replace FPTP voting in your state.

Then we wouldn't have to worry about buffs or debuffs at all.

Konnichiwa.

I understand you are very concerned about people voting 3rd party. Considering our broken First Past The Post voting system, I get it.

Did you know that alternative voting systems could alleviate all your worries about people who wish to vote outside the two party system? People could be free to vote how they wish, safe in the knowledge that their vote would still count against the Republicans.

How we vote us controlled at the state level, which means we can pass this much needed reform without federal intervention. Actually, some states have already passed legislation doing away with First-past-the-post voting, and even more are in the process of passing it! Exciting times no?

So, in conclusion, I hope you stop by my ask lemmy Post to discuss your post election commitment to replace FPTP voting in your state.

If achieved, you wouldn't have to worry about 3rd parties anymore and your fellow citizens would be involved and contributing to the poltical process.

I see you understand the flaws of First past the post voting quite well. We definitely need people like you to help fix how we vote so you don't have to have this conversation over and over every 2 years.

Swing by my ask lemmy Post to discuss your post election commitment to replace FPTP voting in your state. Appreciate your time either way. Peace.

Why do people feel the need to publicly announce blocks?

Block me as well. Do not forget the blocking user ceremonial reply to my comment!

Did the democratic party ever update their vetting process since she was elected?

 
 
 
 
 

Spoiler alert, tomorrow is another day as well.

 

The only way out of wage slavery is to exploit others before you are exploited.

No thanks.

 
 

Maybe it's not so much to do, but we are coerced to sell the vast majority of our waking hours (at a steep discount) to prove we deserve basic necessities.

And at the end of the day, we are just trying to get back the physical/mental energy we gave away to the worst of us all. Nothing left for us to give to ourselves. If not less and less until the foundations crack and the house collapses. Homeless... again.
