With a electoral system like Ranked Choice voting, people would feel safe to vote for whomsoever they wish, as their vote would still be counted even if their preference didn’t win.
Just search for videos on FPTP voting if you want an explanation on how and why the spoiler effect exists.
Electoral reform is possible in each individual state (for now), we dont need federal reform! Maine and Alaska have already passed electoral reform.
Republicans are moving to make alternative electoral systems illegal in their states. Republicans LOVE first past the post voting. Just sbsolutely adore it. Why would you want to use the same voting system republicans want?
More political parties means a higher percentage of the population is represented by their choices in the voting booth. More people involved in the electoral process, more people engaged.
Its a win win win all around for not just the people, but also for the democratic party. More people voting means more democratic votes. The numbers dont lie. So what’s the hold up blue states?
Some day we will be able to vote for who best represents our interests. We won’t need to grovel on our knees, begging for representationin government. We won’t need to wait for the Republican party to stop existing.
We can do it right now. We don’t have to get over a damn thing. If anyone needs to get over themselves, it would be the democrats who assume they are the only way forward.
Consider starting a campaign to change how we vote in your own state! Force our representatives to compete with fresh outside ideas. We deserve the best representation, not excuses.
Unfortunately, not all women want what you, or the left wants.
Census data from 2020 (couldn’t find more recent) shows there are more women of voting age than men in the US: https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2020/demo/popest/2020-demographic-analysis-tables.html
Assuming that some men are voting in favor of women’s rights, you would think that it wouldn’t be possible for Trump to be elected, but it was, even when a woman was running against him. If women really don’t want Trump to win, they seemingly don’t even need men to make it happen.
Of course, this doesn’t account for the variations in population from state to state, but that even highlights how ridiculous our electoral college voting system is, and guess what. Nobody on the left or right is talking about alternative voting systems like RCV or switching to a popular vote.
Data here shows, however, that there are only 11 states with marginally higher male to female population, so the point still stands. If women want it to happen, they have the power to. It’s just not what all women want and they don’t need men to do it for them. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/male-to-female-ratio-by-state
What do those stats have to do with women’s healthcare rights? 85% of Americans believe some form of abortion should be legal. A trump term would mean more ultra conservative judges and rulings. Trump is not something we can risk. He is old and this has to be his last chance.
anyways, fear does not motivate me to vote
I get it. High five for not having a vagina and not rrreeeaaalllyy having to worry about it.
You don’t know who I am or my life. Like I said, there are people with vaginas who have voted for Trump and people with vaginas who will not be voting for Biden. Women are not a monolith.
