I try not to be terribly pessimistic. But a part of me knows you're right.

I've long wondered why the populist democrats haven't been pushing harder for ranked choice voting options, or proportional representation, or any other voting system than what we have. I'm no election expert, so I'm sure there's a reason, but it's disheartening to be trapped between two parties.

I've been attempting to convert as much of my digital life to open source alternatives over the last few years, and I can't tell you how many people tell me it's unsafe to do since "just anyone can work on it". Most people really believe capital = expertise, and that's a hard nut to crack.
