Why call them the "two sides" if there are the same? You need actual change.

  Both parties then.

  The two-party system is a direct result of FPTP election forms. First past the post receives a lot of criticism for restricting options to vote for due to the idea of vote splitting and strategic voting. This leads elections to run into the commonly referred to "Lesser of two evils" dilemma and ends with a 2-party system in place. With 42% of Americans saying they identify as independent and 60% of Americans saying the need for a new party is apparent, it would suggest that the FPTP voting system is failing democracy, failing Americans, and failing America. https://old.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/ https://old.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method#Comparison_table https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method#Comparison_tabl...

    Downvoted for indented text. Sorry I don't know how else to put an end to this.

      HN has this dogma where they won't add any more markup even if it's reasonable. I guess they don't want every comment turning into a fancy formatted mess with different font sizes and lists, but blockquotes are a necessity. > is used a lot, and it always looks bad, particularly for multi-line quotes. HN won't add proper blockquote rendering for ">", so people try to mimic it, badly, using indented <pre>/unflowed text (which HN bizarrely implemented even though they didn't implement indented flowed text). Don't blame people, blame HN.
