    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?

      Why not …

      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

        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.
