Didn’t say it did work. I’m not presenting a solution here, I’m not the messiah.
For a problem like what the US currently has, IMO they’re kind of past the point where voting alone is going to solve it. They needed to change their voting system before an authoritarian despot took control. Hopefully they’ll remember this when trying to piece some sort of new government back together once he’s gone.
So they needed to fix it in the 1700s?
The US has always been an authoritarian shit hole that replaced divine right with capital right. The whiskey rebellion is proof none of the founding fathers gave a singular shit about democracy or freedom.
The literal living deification of Washington guaranteed that would happen, though, so its not exactly surprising they developed a sacred text along side their new god.
We all know about the evils of first past the post here, but voting blue doesn’t. Fucking. Work.

The greatest lie that the working class has been fed is that its rulers care about them.
Nah. Freedom and democracy has always been for wealthy white males. They literally see themselves as human and everyone else as animals.
The earlier the better I suppose. Americans kind of trapped themselves by turning their constitution into a holy book, though.

The thing that works the least is shitting in the pool, which is what voting third party is.
Voting alone was never going to work. Organize then we can talk about whether voting third party makes sense or not.
Voting period was never going to work in this system. And worse, voting third party is explicitly harmful to any chance of progress so fuck that
