It's just so sad how broken the US voting system is. In Finland we have a population of ~5 million, and we have 9 parties currently in the parliament out of a total of 16 registered (the rest just didn't get enough votes to make it into parliament this time 'round).

Y'all have almost 350 million people and 2 parties, neither of which seems to have much interest in getting rid of first-past-the-post. The really sad part is that Thomas Jefferson independently came up with a voting method that's identical to the d'Hondt method that's pretty commonly used here in Urop and proposed that the US should use it, but if I remember right he was veto'd by Washington for whatever reason
