Usually when I read "both sides are the same", it's a blue conservative like you trying to make people critical of the Democratic party seem unreasonable. Both sides are capitalist and conservative, but there are differences for sure. Dont you want more differences? If you wanna really shut up those people bitching from the sidelines, the best way to do so is to put them in the game! Force them to show us how to do things since it's so easy and they have it all figured out. Switching away from first past the post voting allows people to vote for who represents them best while still counting their vote against those they dont want to win. Just search for videos on FPTP voting if you want an explanation on how and why the spoiler effect exists. Electoral reform is possible in each individual state (for now), we dont need federal reform! Maine and Alaska have already passed electoral reform. Republicans are moving to make alternative electoral systems illegal in their states. Why would you want to use the same voting system republicans prefer? More political parties means a higher percentage of the population is represented by their choices in the voting booth. More people involved in the electoral process, more people engaged. Its a win win win all around for not just the people, but also for the democratic party. More people voting means more democratic votes. The numbers dont lie. So what's the hold up blue states? Electoral reform needs to be the number one priority for every democrat. No more waiting. Consider starting campaign to change how we vote in your own state! Force our representatives to compete with fresh outside ideas. We deserve the best representation, not excuses.
