I'm still trying to understand why you only get to choose between two candidates. I get how it works. But so many countries elect their president in 1-2 turns.
Also also, Switzerland's way of electing it's executive power is much better.

I've been spamming the shit out of this video because it is exactly the answer to that question. Ranked choice voting (or maybe a few others) are the answer.
There are organizations working to get ranked preference voting systems adopted, I donate to them. Fairvote.org is one of them. If the participation of Conservadems and GOPers with fair vote.org bothers you, there are other organizations.
At what point do we learn that voting for progress is an illusion, a fable, taught and told to us to prevent us from organizing socially to effect real change?
Maybe some of those politicians should just start their own party? That’s what would happen in a healthier democracy
