Re: Unpopular opinions

[(Anonymous)]

TBH it would be pretty futile even then. Although I advocate third parties in general, for all practical purposes, you can accomplish much of the same stuff through trying to work in the primary system of the existing parties and trying to support and run candidates who are further to the left to swing the party in that direction (assuming you're a Democrat who wishes the party were more left, which I assume most in this thread basically are, but the same principles apply mutatis mutandis regardless of your actual affiliation).

The real, intractable problems which make it difficult to do those things would still exist in a majority runoff system. The two biggest problems, and the two which more than anything else are currently fucking up our democracy, being of course rampant gerrymandering, and the insane infusion of money into politics via issue ads, Citizens United stuff, etc. Until we fix those issues, we're going to be well and truly fucked no matter what. Also it's really hard to envision any practical way of fixing them.

eh, I'm not trying to deny those are problems too! There are many very important problems.

But I do think that people are genuinely afraid to vote for third parties because of the throwaway vote phenomenon and eliminating the plurality system would be a good step as well.
