What’s more puzzling is the fact that the democratic party fully understands the flaws of FPTP. That’s why they harp and harp on 3rd party voters every election season. Yet democrats do not push to resolve the issue by passing electoral reform.
Why would the democrats support a voting system that artificially limits the number of viable political parties to two? (Alongside the republicans aka both sides)
Something something both sides.
Both sides are not exactly the same. Unfortunately, there are similarities. Dont you want more differences?
For instance, the majority of blue states use First-past-the-post voting. Republicans are passing legislation to protect FPTP voting in states they control. Why do Blue states continue to use the voting system preferred by the republican party?
