Instead of fueling division this energy could be used to advocate for a preferential voting system
That takes honest introspection on behalf of those wearing red hats…
I’ll let you hold your breath on that one.
Voting system? I like your optimism.
Sure, I'll advocate for it.
But it's not going to happen unless you pay them to make it happen. Until then, it will get thrown into the "later" pile, along with term limits, abortion rights, reductions in military, insider trading law, universal healthcare, and other things 80% of voters want
Our system now is "you and your family get filthy rich with no legal consequences" vs "do the right thing", and nobody picks the latter.
I disagree. I think public shame is an excellent deterrent. Maybe next time they'll think engage their brains before defending such an evil platform.
These people clearly do not experience shame.
I wouldn't bank on it. People seem to be using their brains less and less every year.
And who's going to implement that system? The US government had no interest in doing so because every elected representative currently in office got elected under the current system and thus directly benefits from it. And that's before it was taken over by fascists who have no interest in the people being able to vote at all.
You are NOT going to get preferential voting in the US without a complete overthrow and replacement of the government.
