Why not get rid of First Past the Post voting, implement Ranked Choice / Alternative voting, and then we won't have to fucking have this conversation at all?
Because the powers that be benefit from the status quo too much. Hell, even the Electoral College doesn't do the average person any favours, and that's still going strong
Let me know when that happens
That's how people feel about the idea proposal in your meme, lol
ETA I agree the two party is stupid but unfortunately getting "everyone to start voting third party" has never worked every time it's brought up
Right? We can't even get people to vote AT ALL, how are we supposed to convince them to vote against the only two people they've heard of?
It's happening now. Some states have implemented a system already and Nevada is voting on it next election.
It is happening in cities around country and some states are starting to look at it
