It’s a start though. Ranked choice voting would likely solve the two party problem.
We also have that lol. Still just the two parties. But to be a little optimistic we are starting to see a lot more support for one of the third parties, and they have been able to affect some small, but positive, change. I think the younger generations are slowly breaking that mindset of just voting for the big two who have failed us so far.
Hm? A place with ranked choice voting and a two party system? Only makes sense if you live in a presidential system. In a parliamentarian system that would be weird. Not that "more parties" makes stuff immediatly better. We have 7,5 parties in our parliament, 3 of them form the government, and it is still a shitshow.
This could just be some ignorance on my part, I am probably using words wrong.. I live in Australia. We have more than two parties but as far as I know it's only ever been labor or liberals in power. I know technically it's liberals/nationals, but y'know. It's mostly just that the majority of people seem fine voting for one of those two.
