Look, I have my political views, but this is why the whole divide and conquer thing is 100% true. As long as we, whether left or right, allow our entire mind and emotions to be warped and subverted by those in power, we will never effect change and unite against this kind of corruption, which none of us stand for.

It doesn't require us to change our views on areas where we don't agree. It simply requires uniting on the numerous areas where there is common ground.

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of this.

Your average Joe does this and gets ripped away from his family for 10-years. Politicians do it and it gives them job security.

The two-party system amounts to two wings on the same bird. While we're fighting about left vs. right, we're soon going to find ourselves in a new system of lords vs. peasants.

We need to change the voting system in order to dissolve the two party system, per Duverger's law. Ranked choice voting will not work. Approval voting or STAR voting would work.

Totally agree. I haven't looked into that before, but taking a look now. Thank you for including that link.
You're welcome. Here's also a video on simulating plurality, RCV, and approval voting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhO6jfHPFQU
