MODERATORS
Democracy is an illusion, especially in places like the US. There are so many abstraction layers that even if you "win" you are really poorly represented.
"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others."
That's if you have a democracy that even remotely works. Which in the US does not. Hell, it's fragile even in most EU countries.
FPTP is inherently less stable that other voting systems. The more parties involved having to compromise, the more stable. Two parties ends up with red vs blue. Literally. And it's terrible.
I think we in the UK will escape it before the US.
