So we’re stuck voting for Democrats with no feasible way to send a message to the party thus inviting mediocrity all because our only other option is a group crazies until we convince the entire voting population to embrace ranked voting, a system that strips Republicans and Democrats of their grip on the system? And third party candidates aren’t feasible because Democrats and Republicans have rigged the voting system because they don’t want to give up their grip on said system.
Essentially it’s somehow easier to change our entire voting system instead of voting for someone without a D or an R next to their name even though plenty of districts, counties, and states have voted in 3rd party candidates.
Seems to me this is a country of cowards

"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism.” George Washington
You don’t get gerrymandering of this level with more than 2 parties
