    FPTP voting is keeping us from having a functioning and free country.

      Yes, but there are countries with ranked choice voting that still ultimately come down to “red neoliberals vs blue neoliberals”. They’ve built a machine that is extremely difficult to stop.

        Simply having something sane like score voting would make third party candidates viable and would increase the people attempting to run even with a difficult application process. We can then work on making it easier to apply.

        It’s literally just replace FPTP with score (or even ranked choice) and things would improve from there even without other changes to the election system.
