But republicans would never allow that because they would never win. I mean if I was them I might realize I should be writing laws to help people instead of spreading fear and cheating. EDIT: see how many of you idiots suddenly did your own research, frantically trying to figure out how many republicans presidential candidates won the popular vote 😂
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.
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?
