We don't have to wait for Republicans to want to become socialists (what the absolute fuck is this line of thinking?). We can have more then two viable political parties with a more representative electoral system like STAR voting.

How we.vote is.controlled.at the state level as well, so we don't need a miracle to pass in congress to get these changes. In fact, some states have already passed legislation that replaced First Past The Post voting. Others are voting on it in referendums soon to!

So it's possible, gets more people involved in the political process, and gets more votes for democrats.

we just need convince the DNC that democracy is a good thing.
