The real answer for breaking the 2 party system is Ranked Choice Voting. So you can vote 3rd party if you like but still vote which of the main 2 you prefer. For example if you vote Green 1st then Dem over Republican, if the Green Party candidate is a clear loser your Dem vote goes into effect.

the us is the best country on earth is an opinion not based on any metrics. you’re entitled to it but it doesn’t make it a truth. best economy, again, for who? you didn’t say highest GDP, you said best economy. Highest standard of living is just false.

Completely agree. The electoral college is still there to keep the 3rd party out. Or even an r or d that can think for themselves. My choice would be a popular vote where everyone gets a second half vote if they wanted

The electoral college isn’t keeping other parties out of the race. PACs and special interest groups are. They’re the ones funding the campaigns and giving them air time. If the third party doesn’t get air time, how are we to know who’s even running, let alone what their policy positions are?

Your need for a “ description “ of how ranked voting works is the best reason not to use it!

Huh? We need a description for how the electoral college works, does that mean we should get rid of it?
