If every single eligible voter in the U.S.A. would vote in the next election

They can't. Most can't afford to miss a day of work.

I'm a big proponent of compulsory voting, and Voting Day being a national holiday is a natural consequence of such a system.

We really need to push this along side ranked choice voting (or another third-party friendly system). Also critical thinking skills in all schools.

You’re totally right. Guess we shouldn’t try to fix it.
