    People in America thinking that our only option is democrat or republican. The only reason we have to keep settling for the “lesser of two evils” is because we’ve convinced ourselves that it’s impossible to do otherwise.

    It’s the definition of a self-fulfilling prophecy. We’re shooting ourselves in the foot every time we fall for it.

      First past the post systems generally devolve into two party systems. Unless we change that at the very least, two parties are essentially the only options. Switching to ranked choice or approval would help for House positions and likely at the state level.

        At least some states are adopting ranked-choice voting. I much prefer approval voting, but at least it’s better than FPTP.
