    I completely agree the two party system is a joke, we’d be much better off with many more parties with differing opinions and ranked choice voting.

      Ah. My bad, I shouldn’t have mentioned “two-party” at all. The issue with our electoral system is that it’s a bourgeois electoral system, not that it happens to have two parties.

        I learned a new word, this also probably explains our opinion differences quite well. I grew up in the middle class and as an adult continue to reside at that level.

        All in all the system has treated me well, which I’m well aware is not how most people experience it.

      Actually achieving that in the US is impossible via purely peaceful “within the system” means. It would require a social upheaval, maybe not a blood revolution but at least a long period of nasty civil unrest.
