The only people it’s worth it for are the connected billionaires who can scoop up assets cheap while the rest of us end up as serfs.

The bothsiderists don’t typically look at what the Republicans did or didn’t do, except as a jumping off point to explain to everyone else how the Democrats are terrible at pretty much everything.
And certainly the unhinged base is so disconnected from reality that it would take quite a lot to wake them up, if it’s possible at all. The same geniuses that could see all the same stats we could under the booming economy we just had up until January of this year, now proclaim, without even flinching that donvict was handed “the worse economy ever”. We can all look at things like S&P take a gigantic downturn after donvict’s stupid games with tariffs, but these guys blame that direct cause/effect on…Biden. And people like Dollar Store Harry Potter Mike Johnson sit there and repeat the same brazen lie.
Pass state level electoral reform to reduce the influence of political parties and empower the citizenry with the ability to vote outside the 2 party system without a spoiler effect. Make sides less important then policy. Introduce competition into the electoral process.
Do I really have to sell more democracy? We should naturally gravitate towards more representative electoral systems. Democrats are self proclaimed democracy advocates right? STAR or Ranked choice voting should be right up their alley then.
It’s obvious democrats understand the flaws of the voting system. I will refer you to nearly any political thread on lemmy during the previous election. Time and again people will reference the spoiler effect inherent with First-past-the-post voting. It is well understood then that the voting system is flawed. Why is there no urgency in changing how we vote?
Red states, I can understand why they would prefer and protect FPTP voting. What’s up with the blue states? Why are they using the voting system republicans prefer? Seems like a ultragigagigantic red flag to me.
