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.
