- ericd 13y agoHow do we fix it :-/ I think a proportional voting system would open it up, but that conversation is so far from the one we have on the national stage that it seems ludicrous.
- wavefunction 13y agoI don't know, it's so completely complicated. I would think we'd have to move to a parliamentary system to really break the duopoly. The media demonizes and marginalizes any other political parties in America, and Americans want to be "winners" so some even vote for a party based only on the perception that they will be the triumphant side. The problem is that it seems like for most people, choosing between a few options is preferable than to have to carefully examine and choose from a wider array.
