But a Blue and Red outlook is a-okay?
Somehow abolishing the broken FPTP voting system [probably not feasible?]
Not feasible? Then why do Alaska and Maine use something other then First Past The Post voting?
How we vote is controlled at the state level, we can push through reform one state at a time!
Ranked. Choice. Voting.
That’s why we should have Ranked Choice voting. people could give their preference a chance, while still counting their vote against those they don’t want in office.
Infighting would imply progressives are at the table.
We are outside in the alley forever talking with the bouncer, telling them that we know the band and should be let in.
A boring dystopia
Fuck that, AOC voted to protect the rail corporations from the unions striking.
I’m just surprised that wasn’t the reason she has lost the support of the DSA.
I can think of no realistic strategy for getting the concerns around his mental fitness to go away.
Ranked Choice voting would give people more options, giving us more chances to beat trump.
Armed queers bash back.
How many blue states use Ranked Choice voting?

It is stupid to put fees and paperwork in-between the people and their rights. Either it’s legal to own a fully automatic weapon or it’s not. Stop gate keeping our rights away behind all these fucking hoops.
Imagine having to pay to use your free speech if you wanted to say more then ten things a day. Fuck off.
Prisoners are not safe. Prison rape jokes are everywhere through our society. This should be a big heads up to the fact that even if we give up ALL OUR RIGHTS (ya know, like prisoners), the government is STILL incapable of keeping us safe. No amount of sacrificing civil liberties will make is safe. We live in the shitter multiverse. Accept it. Embrace it. For it is all we will know until the sweet embrace of death.
Be unarmed if you wish, your body your choice. Just don’t fucking choose for me.
Oh no republicans are in charge! The donors to my political campaigns will be so disappointed!
It’s almost like it’s impossible to represent everyone with only two political parties.
Trump should also stop running for president.
I think I saw in another comment here on lemm.ee that biden should make it illegal for felons to be president (dont worry, its an official act!) and then biden resigns. I hope it happens. We need turn the country off and turn it back on again.
Switzerland has a direct democracy component to their government.
The pure form of direct democracy exists only in the Swiss cantons of Appenzell Innerrhoden and Glarus.[27] The Swiss Confederation is a semi-direct democracy (representative democracy with strong instruments of direct democracy).[27] The nature of direct democracy in Switzerland is fundamentally complemented by its federal governmental structures (in German also called the Subsidiaritätsprinzip).[5][6][7][8]
Most western countries have representative systems.[27] Switzerland is a rare example of a country with instruments of direct democracy (at the levels of the municipalities, cantons, and federal state). Citizens have more power than in a representative democracy. On any political level citizens can propose changes to the constitution (popular initiative) or ask for an optional referendum to be held on any law voted by the federal, cantonal parliament and/or municipal legislative body.[28]
The list for mandatory or optional referendums on each political level are generally much longer in Switzerland than in any other country; for example, any amendment to the constitution must automatically be voted on by the Swiss electorate and cantons, on cantonal/communal levels often any financial decision of a certain substantial amount decreed by legislative and/or executive bodies as well.[28]
Swiss citizens vote regularly on any kind of issue on every political level, such as financial approvals of a schoolhouse or the building of a new street, or the change of the policy regarding sexual work, or on constitutional changes, or on the foreign policy of Switzerland, four times a year.[29] Between January 1995 and June 2005, Swiss citizens voted 31 times, on 103 federal questions besides many more cantonal and municipal questions.[30] During the same period, French citizens participated in only two referendums.[27]
In Switzerland, simple majorities are sufficient at the municipal and cantonal level, at the federal level double majorities are required on constitutional issues.[20]
A double majority requires approval by a majority of individuals voting, and also by a majority of cantons. Thus, in Switzerland, a citizen-proposed amendment to the federal constitution (i.e. popular initiative) cannot be passed at the federal level if a majority of the people approve but a majority of the cantons disapprove.[20] For referendums or propositions in general terms (like the principle of a general revision of the Constitution), a majority of those voting is sufficient (Swiss Constitution, 2005).

when power isn’t shared equally, those with power tend to remove rights from those without or fail to enforce them.
Capitalism’s natural proression towards end stage.
Work towards peace, prepare for the inevitable.
