So what do you suggest we do about it?

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.

Already ahead of you on that as an active member of my state's ranked choice voting initiative.

Start a new party, don't believe what everyone will say about the chances for it to succeed. Talk to the people, directly.

I wish I could block keywords in images. Can't fucking escape it. And my country is owned by the ~~queen~~ king.

"Good thing they're not voting for the USA president!" - most USA politicians, I guess

Now that can’t be, I received word from a liberal on this very platform that the US didn’t send them $24 billion in weapons, they actually only sent $20 billion therefore the genocide is back on the menu!

Sometimes I wonder if liberals even feel cognitive dissonance at being the same MAGA chuds they claim to hate so much.

Ah wait, if they did, they wouldn’t be liberals!

Oh look, someone trying to push Trump on us. Bless your heart, you just think we're all idiots here.

No, they're not the same. None of us are buying it.

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