I am hoping that the accelerationism this country needed was a cultural one rather than a violent one -- that the conservatives showed so much ugly to the world that the American people pushed the Overton window a bit away from conservatism and will continue to reject that whole world of bullshit in the future.
It can't just be the gas prices, right?
This is why I always advocate for replacing First-past-the-post voting with a voting system that gives 3rd parties the freedom to run for election without a spoiler effect. But I guess blue maga thinks the democratic party is more important then the United States of America.
When it comes to the party leadership and many politicians, absolutely.
I think ordinary people who are registered democrats and "vote blue no matter who" types are much more receptive to the idea of a sensible voting system. Ranked choice has the name recognition, but there are better systems like STAR.
Even here on Lemmy, we have plenty of debates/arguments of "vote blue because of harm reduction and (first past the post + game theory)" versus "vote for the candidate that matches your ideals even if they aren't one of the two that has a chance of winning." What I do not recall seeing, however, are debates about how first-past-the-post is actually the superior voting system because of reasons XYZ.
Any "arguments" in favor that I can think of are typical conservative bad faith bullshit talking points. The people do not favor it, except probably for a big chunk that gets their information about the world from the talking heads' conservative bad faith bullshit talking points.
I've been highly disappointed by the American voters before, and I expect I will be again.
But, yeah. I'd wager that a simple fuel price graph could predict the outcome of the next several elections. If it's high, people will vote out whoever is currently in power.
