The Democrats and the Republicans run this country as their private duopoly. The Democrats run California as a one-party state. They could easily establish proportional representation or ranked-choice or proxies here if they gave a rat's ass about free and fair elections. Are you seriously proposing the Democrats would have a welcoming attitude to third parties if only the Republicans weren't so mean? The Democrats were playing by these rules before the Republicans even existed. They like the private duopoly just fine where they can't get the private monopoly of their dreams.Gee, B20, did I somewhere assert that Dems do not play by Republicans’ enforced rules?
Thank you, Mr. "Those are obvious facts to everyone in America, except the 30% who think Donald Trump is Jesus". What is it about your opinions you feel I've misrepresented? Disagreeing with you is not a misrepresentation.Did you just return from an epic spending spree at Strawmen R-US?
You provide assertions, so I provide evidence, so you repeat your assertions. I see no reason to believe Democrats can win fair elections either, and their behavior suggests they also don't believe it.Or maybe you just graduated from The Tigers! School of American Political Advice?
Democrats DESPERATELY want free and fair elections for the same reason Republicans oppose them:
Republicans can’t win fair elections.
No election that gives voters an incentive to vote strategically instead of according to their true preferences qualifies as a fair election.
The Democrats had the presidency and both houses of congress a couple years ago. Let me know when the SCOTUS overturns their law introducing proportional representation.The fact that the corrupt SCOTUS’ tilted playing field is the only one we have, does not alter that fact.
