The democrats red line was building a hotel in Gaza. Not genocide.

Change how we vote so we can have more then two political parties. As we can all see, a two party system is just one party away from a one party state.

And who wouldn't want more then one chance to defeat the republicans?

I see you understand the faults of the First-past-the-post voting system. Did you know that we can change how we vote at the state level?

That means blue states can easily avoid the situation you are describing by passing electoral reform. We don't need need to wait for a hail Mary from congress to work out, we can do this right now. In fact, some states have already passed electoral reform.

Totally possible, there should be no excuses to keep things as they are. Democrats are self proclaimed defenders of democracy. Of course they would want people to vote how they want freely.... right?

You seem very concerned with the spoiler effect, so I'll leave you some videos on our current voting system and alternatives we can choose from. Because who could understand the flaws of the voting system and not want to fix it? So that people can vote how they wish in a democracy without a spoiler effect.

Who indeed.

Hasn't it been replaced in Maine and alaska?

First-past-the-post voting helps the GOP. That's why they are passing legislation to protect it on states they control.

So why are blue states still using it?

Your state should pass electoral reform and get rid of First-past-the-post voting so republicans can't do that then!

How the solution became "vote for my person even if they don't represent you" and not "hey this voting system is broken and republicans are exploiting it. Lets fix it." Is beyond all reason.

I'm not even a smart person, and i can see the solution. What is your state's excuse?

Make sides less relevant and policy more important by replacing First-past-the-post voting in your state.

It can be more then one thing.

Republicans aren't 100% gun ho about trumps recent (and easily foreseen) fuck ups.

If we replace First-past-the-post voting, we could easily see the republican party get replaced with a more reasonable conservative party like the democrats.

Plus, you know, screaming at people unrepresented in government to vote for your preferred political party isn't actually democracy.

If Alaska can do it, so can your state!

Is having a great depression/war a prerequisite?

It's not called "workingclassism".
