How wish I could post my electoral reform copy pasta in every thread I commented in. I've been muted and banned in other instances for doing so. Haven't really pushed my luck in .ml because I want to keep posting garbage content I find.

Perhaps I will be allowed one cheesy copypasta here as a treat?

Well I voted for a 3rd party candidate in the UK election, how slow American elections are is rather amusing to me. You were campaigning this time last year and the new government hasn't yet taken power. Meanwhile ours was all done in a few weeks.

First past the post is the real problem here.

I still point out once a week. Republicans and Democrats are the problem. Entirely ditch both parties and grab a third party that's actually terrified of happening to them, what just happened to the Republican's and Democrats and taking our country back from the damn thieves.

But I guess with eye sight like that, you would have trouble seeing what's right in front of you.

We don't need a third party. We need ranked choice voting.
