It amazes me that one of the largest countries in the world, with the most diverse demographics, can only chose between two candidates. This is not democracy. It’s a shit show that has been going on for far too long.
Just mention an alternative and you’ll will quickly understand why.
The parties have done the most amazing job in pretending the world will end at every election if they are not chosen.
Is that a 3rd option in a first past the post system?
Hmmmm… what could be the issue there I wonder.
The people are the issue not the system
There is absolutely an issue with first past the post voting systems. And frankly I think you know what the problems are.
That people are so desperate to keep it in place.
FTFP is never going go away if you keep voting for it lol.
How surprising. A comment meant to discourage voting.
Vote for something different than the ftfp parties.
Tradition and inertia.
The USA is proud to have the oldest and longest-standing written constitution. The fact it hasn’t been rewriteen in a long time help explain why there’s still an electoral college, slavery for prisoners (13th amendements), and weak regulation of campaign finance.
Oldest active constitution is San Marino.
That’s interesting. Thanks for pointing it out.
My point is having a very old constitution isn’t much of a boast if keeping it as-is causes political issues.
