"we" the "people"

Union busting

Rolling back regulations

The list goes on....

States have banned ranked choice voting??? wtf why???

Why would they ban ranked choice? Oh right, because they'd absolutely never get elected if they couldn't cheat with the current gerrymandered hell they've built.

Forgot to add:

• The Electoral College
• Congressional apportionment
• The Senate

It's a failed democratic republic that's sliding into fascism.

SCOTUS nullifying literally all the progressive laws intended to protect the people.

How in the actual hell did we go from justices like Hugo Black who was a straight up KKK member but switched sides and became one of the most liberal judges in American history, to the likes of Brett Kavanaugh who spends his free time getting drunk

Nah, state laws get reversed all the time - not by the judiciary, but simply by the next legislature. Obviously definitely fight for RCV and fair representation tooth and nail, but there's no need to go full blackpilled. We're still in the running!

What is “anti-electoral disinformation”

It's a system designed to keep the 2 parties in power. Voting third party means your vote is effectively wasted in a FPTP system

I love how so many Americans staunchly and aggressively proclaim none of these issues (or the multitude of others not listed) just simply don't exist.

Then after a quick google, may agree they exist but only "not in my backyard, therefore it doesn't really happen".

Then with some realization hopefully see it happens not only right where they live but the entire country. But that last part is rare.

And generally the best outcome is "well if you vote for my guy, everything will be solved". Ignoring the 99% of issues that the 2 main parties agree on but create too many profits for donors to ever be looked at.

Other countries would be called olagarchies when a few rich people get their interests catered to and everyone else is along for the rude. Other countries are called theocracies that offer a far greater actual religious freedom than the US and do not enact Christian/Catholic laws like abortion and 10 commandments in schools. I can keep going for hours. But those that get it, already got it. And those that don't, won't ever until they escape American propaganda.

The downvotes by ignorant Americans are welcome.

And just lopping all that off might just kill us. We would die clean though

hey, you can vote for a third party that represents your ideals and politics and it's not throwing your vote away or voting for trump.

you don't have to feel blackpilled, the way out of this is past the winners of this next election, not through them.

RCV is the next carrot to keep idiots voting Democrat. The Bernie plan got exposed and Biden is not much lesser evil than Trump anymore. We have to give them a reason to be stupid enough to keep voting blue.

When RCV almost takes hold they will both sides a bullshit authoritarian move out of their ass and ban it.
