I mean I don't know if I can answer that, but from where I sit, it seems to me our differences are that I'm working with the **** reality we have, and you find that objectionable. Which is not to say I endorse what we have, but I believe life is always going to **** us. So we might as well take what we can get.

As for real action that I think people should pursue if you want to improve the system, it's probably this in order:

1. Get a week-long voting system in place in all states.
2. Get ranked-choice voting on the ballot
3. Focus on in-state ballot initiatives.

The third one is the only way I believe you can circumvent party.
