    As good as preferential/ranked voting is. Compulsory voting would have a much larger positive impact on US’ democracy

      How will compulsive voting improve anything? Now you’re dragging even more uninformed dopes to vote, a lot of them will vote for spite. Far more than you realize, I think

      Trump was 100% the vote-for-spite-burn-it-down candidate. That’s how they get you, the old switcheroo

        Now you’re dragging even more uninformed dopes to vote, a lot of them will vote for spite.

        uninformed defines almost all american voters and the last election showed that 30 million people who voted in 2020, chose not to vote in 2024 instead of spite voting.

      Neither can fix the systemic problems caused by capitalism though, democracy in capitalism is democracy for capitalists.

          Please stop financing and enabling the USA, also, and stop using the US dollar for international trade. So lame that you haven’t done that
