    Wait, why aren’t you fixing the voting system? Yall clearly understand it’s faults. Don’t you believe in democracy?

    “You dont get to vote how you want, and you will be reminded every election.”

    Clown country.

      because the system is working as designed and it’s incentives keep a lot of people favoring it. but the alternative fast solutions everyone loves to wax philosphical about. well that movie always ends with this really weird wide angle shot of a field. theres this big mound of fresh dirt people are celebrating the victory around. but all our favorite anarchist charaters are missing and nobody can tell me why they got written out at the last minute.

      do you think that a half dozen lemmy users are capable of changing the voting system?

      there have been some initiatives passed in some states, but thats only half the election. And the people in power benefit from a first past the post voting system, so transitioning out is slow work. It is possible, and it is happening, but there’s not a magic button that says “swap to superior voting method” that a single socialist can press
