        FPTP voting is keeping us from having a functioning and free country.

            Simply having something sane like score voting would make third party candidates viable and would increase the people attempting to run even with a difficult application process. We can then work on making it easier to apply.

            It’s literally just replace FPTP with score (or even ranked choice) and things would improve from there even without other changes to the election system.

        In this topic. Can’t extend this vote to cover others.

      And yet people say conservatives won’t vote to stop surveillance. I think we need to stop thinking about political lines. The drama with Trump definitely opened some eyes.

        But they didn’t vote to stop surveillance? It was not stopped. They are the majority and they did not stop it.

            These are like Lauren Bobo, Gaetz, and Green. This is unfortunately not a principled stance but instead because their cult leader told them to “KILL FISA!” IDK if better is the word. It is certainly a broken clock that was correct about that particular time of day.
