Given the urgency of our predicament, wouldn’t you say it would be wise to use every tool at our disposal to maintain our democracy?

What if we tried using a voting system that wasn’t first past the post voting? That way, more then 2 political parties would be viable and there would be no spoiler effect.

Imagine several other people on that debate stage. Then it wouldn’t be such a knife in the gut to see a poor performance coming from Joe biden. There would be other people to back. Other people to compete for the office. Other people to not let trump get away with his bullshit.

How we vote is controlled at the state level, we dont need to wait for federal reform! In fact some states have already passed electoral reform.

Here is an example of what Ranked Choice voting can do for us all:
