    getting a better voting system rather than FPTP

    i just want to pass by to point out that fptp is implemented on many places without the big results the proponents of this solution say it to be.

    the same goes for mandatory voting. we have the same issues with electoralism.

      FPTP is only one problem with the system. But it’s still a problem pretty much everywhere that has it. There are many other things that make it particularly worse in the US, but that doesn’t make it not a problem with it.

        the main problem we should be striving to fix to actually end this madness is the undue influence of capital in our ‘democracies’ due to capitalism.
