Can we try out Ranked Choice voting (or something similar) first? We don't have to pass federal reform, it can be passed on a per state basis. In fact, there is little stopping democrats from passing it in states they control.

Whats the hold up blue states?

Fuck the USA. Throughout its entire history. Hopefully in the future things can get better but I seriously doubt it.

Happy? I know I'm not.

Sounds like you're suffering a serious case of "First Past The Post voting".

I'm surprised you've let this condition go untreated for so long.

Can you explain why we don't ban the other social media platforms?

Sounds like some progressive commie hippie dippie talk!

Type a 2,000,000 word essay on why democrats are better then Republicans and say "Joe Biden is the most pro union president in American history" 69 times as penance for your transgressions against the congregation.

Yall are acting like Voat did when the_donald got banned and the MAGAs tried to migrate to voat. Hows voat doing these days?

If you are concerned with the quality of candidates of Republicans, consider working towards passing electoral reform in your state. Maybe these conservatives aren't happy with the republicans or democrats and would like to vote for some other conservative political party.

Getting rid of First Past The Post voting would allow these people to choose a more moderate conservative, while still counting their vote if their preference didn't win.

When people talk about the "fringe", don't forget how far we have drifted.
