Let's break that shit up!

Approval voting and proportional representation! So long as we have single-seat elections using choose-one voting, we'll be stuck with two parties.

None of these things will pass so long as moderates would rather lose to fascists than compromise with leftists and progressives.

That's why you gotta pass it using a referendum. Take it out of the hands of the legislators and into the hands of the people. Ohio just enshrined abortion protection into their constitution that way.

Odd that Democrat controlled states like California haven't done the same thing.

Voting reform is absolutely the key… which is why neither entrenched party will do it, of course.

I'm so glad to see more people around here realizing this.
