Your two party system is shit and everyone should be trying their hardest to force something else like STV.
Approval Voting (using a multi winner variant) and five member districts. No single winner system will break the two party system. Party proportional is better but America ain't ready for that.
I prefer ranked choice to approval voting- it means compromise voting isn't necessary. It also means that people are less likely to select someone just because of slight approval but they think they have a higher chance,
Yeah but RCV still has spoilers, like what with happened in the Alaska special election (among others). The big reason I like Approval best is that even the dumbest voter needs to understand how the voting system works, from beginning to end. If you think the lies about voter fraud and rigged elections are bad now, just imagine how many more people would believe them if they didn't fully understand how the voting system works.
In practice RCV and Approval agree nearly all the way down the results and when they don't, Approval does a better job of showing the true support for second and third place.
Hey hey hey Strangle Thorn Vale is fucking miserable dude, leveling there is basically asking to get ganked by some max level player farming world buffs. Easily as bad as the two part system
