      Sorry the system we’ve been abused by for the last 100 years didn’t change over night because you had a thought about it.

      Are you?

        I am, I want a system that is responsive to the voters needs and isn’t constantly gamed. At the same time, you can’t pretend that is the system we have. We need to acknowledge how it works and work within that framework to get an outcome that is closer to what we want. Outside of that, you’re talking about mobilizing millions of people who don’t want to mobilize. You do both, you don’t just pretend that if you, as an individual, act in a way that aligns with your idealistic view of the world that you will see results. You work within the system to send it in the direction you want while also acting outside of the system to force changes we actually need.

        I could go on, but won’t bother if this is all lost on you.
