    and here you are ignoring nuance 😭

    no one disagrees with you. no one is in a marriage blood pact with FPTP. people are trying to abolish FPTP but it’s taking time and definitely won’t be done within seven months. the pattern of commentators like you coming into a discussion saying “just do <the obvious>” is about as useless and meaningless as a vegan trying to brigade a barbecue subreddit, or telling a person struggling with gas payments to buy a tesla.

      I have been saying this for years. I have written it on countless message boards throughout my time online.

      There isn’t really any nuance to it. Change is hard, I understand. Doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try.

          In other words, I should shut up?

            genuinely just reconsider your strategy. you’re wrongly placing blame on the voters as though they have ever been given the option to fix their horrible voting system.

            i stand by my comparison that it’s like you are telling a low income person struggling to finance gas to just buy a tesla.

              It’s been changed in some states. Someone somewhere must have heard it and thought it was a good idea.

              Sharing ideas online is a first step. The alternative is that people don’t mention it, and that seems worse.
