Don't like people removed from the sidelines? Make them put their money where their mouth is by passing electoral reform in your state!

Get them off the sidelines and put them in the game! It's so easy right? Force them to show us how it's done by implementing a more representative electoral system such as Ranked Choice voting. Then they can run for public office with no spoiler effect.

Wouldn't you want that? To have them prove it?

So you understand the flaws of First past the post voting? Why arent you working towards a more representative electoral system?

Probably not until it's citizens are able to vote outside the two party system in a reliable manner.

Some people can more easily envision murder then the working class (of every country) taking control of their own lives and living in peace and harmony.

Considering how my country men/women/whatever act, I honestly can't blame them.

Thats great, but you have to think about what happens after voting for Harris that will prevent this choice next election?

Work towards passing state level electoral reform in your state. Once more then two parties can be viable, competition will force the legacy political parties to actually attempt to represent people.

I doubt they'd be able to make that pivot. Representation in exchange for votes is a purity test neither will pass IMO.

Ever wonder why these are our only two choice?

Why 3rd parties can't run without spoiling the election?

Consider watching a video on First Past the Post voting to find out why the spoilere effect exists.
