The US badly need more than two political parties.
- api 5y agoLook into ranked choice voting. That could help.
- astrange 5y agoPolitical parties in the US aren't very strong; instead of having more names of parties, we just replace the insides of the current ones in primary elections. It's not like the UK where you actually have to do what they tell you or can literally get fired. Replacing FPTP with RCV would elect more centrists, but without proportional representation there'd still be two parties I think.
- kmonsen 5y agoYes agree with the current voting system it will not make too much difference. Need proportional representation. I think the problem is not that the parties are too strong, but that are too weak to strong interest groups.
