It's not a both sides argument, really, when one is absolutely horrible and the only party that has the power to stop their bullshit does nothing but move their agenda to the right in the hopes of converting voters.

Ranked choice voting and the breakup of the 2 party system which only benefits the American oligarchy is the only way forward.

Ranked choice voting and the breakup of the 2 party system which only benefits the American oligarchy is the only way forward.

That's a pretty unreasonable goal, considering that would require a 2/3rds majority and agreement on both parties that they want to gut their own system.
