    I think a lot of the liberal attacks were more of a “there’s a time and place, and this is neither” issue.

    I don’t see democrats pushing to change the voting system so people can vote how they want and transfer their vote if their preference doesn’t win. Republicans and democrats love First-past-the-post voting and the hostage situation it will always be.

    The time is now, the place is here. For a political party that prides themselves as great advocates.of democracy, why are democrats preventing people from voting how they want in the blue states they control? Sounds like something a Republican would do.

    While simultaneously screeching at people during election seasons that voting outside the two party system is a wasted vote. Encouraging voters to “hold their nose” in the “most important election ever”. This shows their hand. Democrats understand that FPTP voting is undemocratic and doesn’t represent people well.

    Yet… crickets on electoral reform.

    I guarantee you the usual suspects will be posting and commenting here about 3rd party voters when the mid terms roll around. All while doing nothing to change the voting system.

    I’ve casted my last damage control vote for the democrats. If they want a vote from me, they can implement these very reasonable reforms so I can transfer my vote to them if my first 10 picks don’t win
