America needs a new political party. Both of the current ones are bad. Republicans are way too reactionary, Democrats are pro-censorship, and both are getting more extreme. Neither appropriately represents an average person.

It should be every political party (not just one new one). There should be many more than 10, ideally considering that they represent 400 million people with diverse ideas and perspectives. The parties would have to negotiate/compromise more, which would be good ๐Ÿ‘

I donโ€™t think any current party would be willing to do that. The GOP and DNC are practically owned by billionaires and companies.

Also, the U.S. political system is set up for two major parties, because it awards seats in Congress and the presidency with a winner-take-all method. Candidates running for Congress need only to get a plurality of the vote to be elected. This makes it hard for small, poorly funded parties to win.

Thatโ€™s why it should be the law.

The winner-takes-all system should also be reformed. Thatโ€™s what has prevented a third party from forming for the last 200+ years!! ๐Ÿ‘

So we agree, they do need to require the stuff I said. And ranked choice voting would be very good.
