    Get over the fact that the DNC is not perfect. Voting Democrat is literally the only option to implement voting practices that will eventually break out of the two party system. The Republicans are actively doing their best to remove your power to vote.

      Without trying to sound contentious, how is voting for one of the two major parties supposed to help break out of the two party system? Have the Democrats ever put forward any kind of legislation supporting things like eliminating first-past-the-post?

      To be clear, I don’t disagree that the Dems are the lesser of two devils in this election but I don’t know if it’s fair to waive a banner of hope for either party at this point.

        Handing power over to proto-fascists would do more to end the two party system. But who actually thinks that’s a good idea?

        Where I live the democrats are trying to implement ranked choice voting. I’m certain my state isn’t the only one.
