Remember when we thought Americans would elect someone who is better for them?

Says the person who gets in the way of proportional representation electoral reform allowing the fascists like Pierre Poilievre with only 45% of the vote potentially win all the power and no instant run-off ranked ballots won’t fix it because it will continue to entrench a defacto 2-party system where people are dissatisfied with both choices.

It’s much easier for the extremists to perform a hostile takeover on a big tent party than a bunch of smaller ones. You know this you’re on Lemmy.

The liberals need to swallow their arrogance and work with the smaller parties to pass mixed member proportional representation as it counts the most votes and increases accountability and stability in government.

The largest voting bloc in the United States is the people who didn’t vote at all. They were not excited by either choice. Kamala Harris could’ve had a coalition with the smaller parties and independents instead of what we had to deal with today.
