We need more than one axis to vote with in the US. Mathematically that will only be stable if we eliminate FPTP voting and switch to voting for multiple people

We need more than one axis to vote with in the US. Mathematically that will only be stable if we eliminate FPTP voting and switch to voting for multiple people for multiple positions.
I'm fine with Kshama Sawant being on the Seattle City Council but 49% of voters in that district are disenfranchised. They should be able to band together with others to get a candidate more to their liking.
- drewcoo 5y agoEven an axis can hold more than two points. If something other than D and R were considered viable everywhere, Sawant wouldn't seem like such an outlier. When people are forced to hold their noses and vote for the lesser of two evils, can we really say they are enfranchised? What if those two evils are captured by corporate interests and not the interests of general citizenry?
