Remember when we thought Americans would elect someone who is better for them?
Says the person who gets in the way of proportional representation electoral reform allowing the fascists like Pierre Poilievre with only 45% of the vote potentially win all the power and no instant run-off ranked ballots won’t fix it because it will continue to entrench a defacto 2-party system where people are dissatisfied with both choices.
It’s much easier for the extremists to perform a hostile takeover on a big tent party than a bunch of smaller ones. You know this you’re on Lemmy.
The liberals need to swallow their arrogance and work with the smaller parties to pass mixed member proportional representation as it counts the most votes and increases accountability and stability in government.
The largest voting bloc in the United States is the people who didn’t vote at all. They were not excited by either choice. Kamala Harris could’ve had a coalition with the smaller parties and independents instead of what we had to deal with today.
There aren't smaller parties with enough people in the right places in the USA to make the difference up for Harris.
There’s also the issue of partisan district drawing in the USA.
Hence the "in the right places"
I'm for the count the votes and divide the seats. We don't really have local representation anymore anyways. The MP is going to vote the party way so I don't find it meaninenful anymore. Also the vast majority of people are choosing who to vote for by who the leader is anyway. And with party voting who can blame them.
