    Both parties are capitalist and support First Past the Post voting in the states they control.

    Of course there are differences, don’t you want more differences?

    Think the Republicans getting control in government is a existential threat? Then you should be open to using every and any tool available to fight this from becoming reality. That means taking a big gulp, and considering that perhaps the democrats don’t have what it takes to take on the Republicans.

    So democrats need backup! They need help out there on that debate stage to fight Trump. We need to bring in outside perspectives with fresh ideas in the form of more viable political parties in the voting booth.

    This means we must do away with First Past The Post voting in each and every state in democratic control. Republican ones as well, but at the very least they have an excuse as to why they use a mathematically flawed voting system that doesn’t represent everyone. What is the excuse blue states?

    Time to set aside your pride democrats. Perhaps you really aren’t the future in the USA. You do want a future in the United States of America right? Would you be willing to risk your beloved democratic party not being relevant any longer to save this nation? I’d say, thats going to happen either way. Either the Republicans win it all, or we find a way around this massive blue roadblock of a political party.

    So you may as well do the right thing, and implement Ranked Choice voting in your state before the door hits you on the ass on your way out.

    Political parties are not the USA, the people are. We can set ourselves free with state level electoral reform. Now.
