I'm hearing alot about the structural flaws of First past the post voting these days. Glad to see more people talking about the topic. Let's start making plans to fix this once and for all so people are free to vote how they want.

Republicans are legislating to protect First Past the Post voting. Florida already has banned Ranked Choice voting (but there are many other voting systems we could use).

So why haven't the democrats passed electoral reform in states they control? Why do they want to continue using the voting system republicans prefer? Isn't the republicans liking something a ultragigagigantic red flag?

I can’t even begin to understand why any of them do anything anymore. They’re all crooks anyway.
