    The only way that happens is with a third option, otherwise dems and repubs will be happy to keep playing hotpotato literally until the end of time.

      Ok Cool, so while we’re working on reforming our voting system so third parties have a shot, why don’t we… Not let Republicans have any power by voting. You know, in the meantime.

        Not let Republicans have any power by voting.

        I must have missed the part where conservatives didn’t have any power for the past 200 years because people were voting.

        And in 200 more years people can say the same shit, while still choosing between two far right parties where one is a bit less evil and a bit slower in making shit worse, but we better not try a third option yet then either, or the more evil, worse faster party might win.

          Oh, don’t get it skewed, we should definitely work towards changing things outside of just voting, but we should also vote while we’re doing those other things.
