  • If the people can cast off the shackles of the two party system, there could be a tiny chance of turning this boat away from shore. But I wouldn’t count on that.

    The tribalism runs deep. Perhaps Stockholm syndrome would be more accurate a description because we are most definitely not a part of the tribe of either mainstream political party. Advocating to add democracy to our voting system via electoral reform runs into a surprising amount of resistance. People cling to their preferred political party with a white knuckle grip.

    Should future elections occur, the wagons will be circled, the most important election ever ™ will be declared, and any dissent will be labeled as Russian disinformation agents. People will howl for the blood of 3rd party voters and yet do nothing about the First-past-the-post voting system.

    Nothing will fundamentally change unless things are to get worse somehow, then everything will change.
