    its more our FPTP system only has one degree of freedom. We need multiwinner elections for the house, senate, electoral college where anyone who gets 10% of the vote gets 10% of the reps. Then the politicians can’t hide all the shit under wedge issues. They can do that now because our electoral system is infinitely gameable as long as there’s only 2 choices

      That is indeed a possible solution, but do not doscount how true my statements are: Democrats are NOT an ally of anyone wanting actual radical change. Maybe if they ever start taking climate change seriously, but even then… Democrats (the party leadership more specifically) are not good people. There are some good Democrats, but the party is not and does fight change.
