Isn’t there something we as a people are meant to do when the government fails to serve us? 🤔 Asking for a friend.

You don’t vote for people who don’t represent you.

Our first past the post voting system is mathematically flawed to always result in a two party system through strategic voting.

People are not free to vote for who best represents them because they would let someone who represents them even less win the election.

While this spoiler effect is inherent in First Past The Post voting, there are other voting systems where there is no spoiler effect.

So here we are, chained in the trunk of the car these two legacy political parties drove off a cliff into a river.

And the Water rises… take a deep breath.

For that first part to work we must vote for better candidates at the lower level and stop voting for the media selected consensus candidate in primaries.

Otherwise we’re just disengaging from the system and letting two people pass the presidency back and forth.

Take a moment to stop focusing on the day-to-day so we can go out and water our trees.
