You're viewing a single thread.
Oh no, the country founded by 1%ers who don't want to pat taxes, and built on I disk burial grounds, is full of crazy violent assholes?

Imo. That would be switching away from first past the post voting in favor of an alternative voting system like Ranked Choice.

you forgot the part where it doesnt work.
Every step forward has been through violence. It has worked every time. All of our rights came through acts of violence. Asking for them has never, ever , ever worked.
