    So you want everyone else to do the work and when that job is finished you will hop on our bandwagon and proclaim you always supported us?

      It’s not “hopping on the bandwagon”, with the way your election system is rigged, there are only two options for a lot of places, anything else is a wasted vote

      If you got rid of the Electoral Colleges and the FPP then suddenly it’s not a wasted vote

        And you know what changes first past the post? Democrats getting off their ass and voting for actual nondemocrat or socialist candidates. If they are pushed past the post by Democrats, then they win. It’s as simple as that. Trying to reform a party that is operating exactly as designed will always lead to failure

      You can be working towards voter reform and be voting for Democrats at the same time. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

        So your plan is to work towards voter reform while supporting the politicians that do not want voter reform?

          I’m sure some Democrats would like it, there’s people who run on that platform. It’s better than letting Republicans win at least.

            I’m sure some Democrats would like it,

            They might claim to. They’ll find the no votes.
