I think it would actually solve a huge swath of problems, but absolutely yes its ridiculous to state as a solution just as we both agree.
As for the overthrowing the government part, I think that given they're both at the same levels of difficulty, Id probably opt for the one that also accomplishes the practical goals and doesnt end up in half of us being bloody pulp on the ground.
it really doesn't. It would start the process of fixing the problems, but you then still need to take money out of politics, curb the right-wing misinformation machine, introduce and pass widespread economic, education, and equality reform, all the while billionaires will continue to do everything in their power to bribe the multitude of parties to halt progress.
If they're both the same level of difficulty, I'd rather fix all the problems at once, rather than take step one of a hundred.
Neither fixes all the problems at once. People keep holding onto the ideas of some hail mary that wins the "game" and it aint coming.
Proportional representation would break 2 party and be one of many steps. People would be able to vote for one of many parties and no0 longer would throwing away your vote with a third party be a thing.
Many steps is the only way to eventually fix things. Your basically faced with a highly liable to fail, bloody fictional solution you wont do, and the long, diet and exercise you swear wont work.
