I only recently learned about approval voting, and I really like it! I also would prefer that or ranked choice over what we have now. I need to look up star voting.
The United States is projected to shift toward the center and eventually left in the coming decades. I don’t know if it will ever approach Europe left, but it could eventually.
You’d have to see the end of Past the Post and the ability of more than two parties to have a chance before we ever approach European leftism. I love the dipshit Republicans labeling the democrats “communists” when they are centrists.
Not to mention the whole “campaign money raising” thing that’s being celebrated as a wonderful thing right here (as if that didn’t create conflicts of interest for even the most honest of politicians given that it’s the more well off who can give the most money).
In most of Europe political parties get public funds to for their campaigns.
I hope Gen Z sees the problem with Republicans and continues the push to get enough out of office we can keep righting the ship.
Biden may not be perfect, but he got a shit ton of stuff done with Republicans doing everything they can to ruin the economy, jobs, and their future.
I hope Gen Z does better than those before them and gets actively involved in such a way we can start abandoning this wack ass two party nonsense.
Ranked choice voting certainly has it’s issues, but damnit of it isn’t so much better than what we have.
I’ll take Approval Voting or Star Voting over Ranked choice voting… But I’ll definitely take Ranked choice over what we have right now.

The United States would have to create a new Consitution as the document requires a two party system for the government to function.
It doesn’t need to be new. Needs to be amended to remove the winner take all approach and avoid plurality voting.
Or maybe institute ranked choice voting across the board? You’d still have to get rid of Pass the Post to even be heard at the major debates.
“No, we’re not allowed to amend the constitution, it’s set in stone!” - People who just fucking love the second one.
So we’re on gen Z now? Used to say that about us millennials. Guess we let you guys down.
