I think it’s time to update and broaden my filter range on Lemmy for the next few years…

With electoral reform, we could have more then two artificially limited options. We could have competition in our elections. We could be free...

We will never have election reform that represents the will of the people, because the capitalist class, which has run this country since its inception through bourgeois revolution, will never allow “tyranny of the majority” reforms. They would sooner unleash fascism upon us than allow real democracy.

But currently you aren't and the options are damage control or burning the house down...

I think the first, most realistic progress we can make is to get a few more states to sign the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It's a agreement between state legislature to assign their electors based on the national popular vote, and it automatically goes into effect once enough states have signed on to guarantee 270 electoral votes.

It bypasses the need to pass a constitutional ammendment that is functionally impossible to get through.

And it's within grasp. Enough states have already signed on for 209 of the 270 threshold (Maine just signed it into law in April), with several states pending for another 50 (e.g. Nevada is waiting on governor'ssignature).

We're shockingly close to killing the electoral college, and nobody seems to know about it.

Watch the next Canadian election and be equally dumbfounded / terrified.

At least that election season won't last more than 7 weeks. Instead of this insane 2 year marathon the US has.

As much as I'd like to make fun of the 'muricans, I'm well aware Brazil would totally do the same fucking thing with jair bolsonaro. Thankfully the fucker is ineligible for another 7 or so years, but his sons are still causing trouble.
