We're also open to executing politicians for treason when they hold more allegiance to money and Israel than the people they represent.

Like seriously NPR. Clean it up a bit and ask that fucking question. Report on how many people you interview agree with that sentiment.

Report on actual sentiment.

Ranked choice pls

Our de facto two party system isn't statutory. It's not written in the constitution that there can only be two parties. It's just the natural consequence of a winner-take-all, first-past-the-post election system. All a candidate has to do is win 51% of the votes to get 100% of the political power. It makes third party candidates essentially nonviable. That's what would need to change if we want to ditch the two party system.

They’re open to big changes because corporations have captured our political parties and neither party answers to the population, you know, like a functional democracy. Citizens United and deregulation of corporations is where things went wrong.

Ranked choice voting open to all.

Two parties? Who is the second party?

Ranked Choice Voting. If anyone is curious just know that it's illegal in some places in USA. Similar with general work striking.

Drutman found that 6 in 10 Trump voters who have an opinion on proportional representation said they back it, too….

Okay, but like, what tiny percentage of those people could understand the concept, much less have an opinion about it? heh

Hey Democrats and Republicans, will you allow for the possible destruction of your parties? No? ...oh

Of course the voters are open to change... however we need a non First past the post system to even dip our toes in change, and in order to get that in place we need a majority from... that's the real hinderance with fixing politics in general is the people who currently are in charge are the ones who have to change it. It's like if in a sport we needed to pass a ban of a steroid that's been rampant in a sport for 50 years... and all rule changes must go through the currently seated champions of the sport.

The 2 party system only works for business and power. We need a system that works for the people.

I wish that was true in WA state. Incumbents and the typical 2-party won in landslides. Anyone independent or voicing out against the nonsense that politics has turned into was mostly put in the single digit percent range.

Although our voter turnout was near 18-22% across all districts, so hard to know what people are thinking when they don't fucking vote.

This is probably the second worse time to have a movement like this.

The only time I could think that it would be worse is splitting the left wing vote before the 2028 elections.

I prefer Bob Loblaw's Law Blog

Not happening as long as we have a pay-for-play system. Both Dems and republicans profit from having a corporate- and AIPAC- financed winner-take-all voting system.

Let’s prioritize on dealing with the elephant in the room, instead of making Christmas wish lists to Santa.

Yes, these are the types of structural changes that need to be made before all the wishful thinking guiding people's voting behaviors can amount to anything positive. Looking at the current landscape, ranked choice specifically, Democrats are receptive to the idea because they want leftists to at least put Democrats second while the GOP hates the idea so much they're passing laws per-emptively banning ranked choice for more or less the same reason. There's the path forward.

This can be done on local level but on national level you would need constitutional reform which is extremely unlikely.

Never gonna happen. The duopoly is never gonna allow it.
