So our choices in America are between conservative and slightly-less-conservative? So there's a growing demand for a socialist party that doesn't exist, but if it did exist it would lead to the domination of conservatives in politics?
Sounds like ranked choice voting would really help out with a lot of the issues that you presented. It's too bad that the people who make our laws were voted in using the old system and changing that system in any way is a conflict of interest for them.
I guess things will only ever change if we force the issue.
It's one of the reasons why I think America is institutionally fucked & rotten, that it'll take the better part of two centuries to fix it, and that if instead we want stuff to be fixed within a generation, we may need a violent uprising.
