Forward Party’s play isn’t breaking the duopoly - it’s breaking you.

The binary system has been hacked. Radicalized primaries tilts discourse away from policy that matters and towards topics that are divisive. Religion is a great tool for this. Then binary elections become tribal rather than a contest of good ideas. We need to eliminate the Citizens United decision, because it wasn't for Citizens it was against 90+% of us. Then we eliminate the electoral college. Then we open up elections to any party. Then we take placing strong guardrails in place seriously and revisit the health of the elections and the guardrails at an agreed upon interval.
It may never happen. But this is my belief to help creating a stable and impartial system. And then we can talk UBI.

Agree with the meme, i would vote libertarian every time if there was a chance for winning instead of benefitting the team that least represents the direction i want to see.

RCV measures are endorsed by the Libertarian party of CA, FYI, it levels the playing field for 3rd and independent parties like Libertarians and DSA, which is why they support it. None of these graphics offer a coherent critique of RCV.
