If we remove the Republicans, things get better. If we remove the Democrats, things stay the same. It’s not a question of who is better, but who is worse. Until we change the voting and representation systems (hello Approval Voting and Sequential Proportional Approval Voting) picking the lesser evil is the only logical and moral choice.

Man, I guess there’s no point in even trying to improve the system if there’s going to be opposition.
I will advocate to replace it when I’m in office and a Democrat, against the protests of some of my co-workers. As the other commenter pointed out, Newsom killed an anti-FPTP bill, but that means there’s enough support in the California legislature to get a bill to his desk.
I hold no illusions that fixing one aspect of this flawed existence will fix all the other aspects of this flawed existence.
I mean, I want to replace FPTP though. Any kind of proportional system is ideal, but Sequential Proportional Approval Voting is ideal.
Nope. Decades of people choosing Republicans is what got us here.
But again, change the system, don’t ask people to change. They never will.
