      1/2 the country doesn’t though. We just have voter apathy because of our 2 party system

        The first-past-the-post system created the two-party system. In order to fix the two-party problem, a start would be ranked-choice voting. Otherwise voting third party is literally dangerous because the worst people might get into office and fuck things up more.

            Personally I’m more of a fan of Approval Voting since it’s effective and the easiest to explain/implement.

            Otherwise STAR voting is really good. Lastly I would take RCV since that is at least better than what we currently have.
