Glad they’re taking off the gloves a little, but it’s always been a non-option to just make our lives significantly and irrevocably better like M4A or the PRO act and although they’re good at trying and failing, they never talk about the consequences as dire as they actually are with few exceptions.

      The real travesty is you only have 2 options, they’re both not very good and the entire country is polarized around one or the other.

      I think the Europeans were on to something with MMP. My country adopted it in the 90’s and finally ~30 years later we have a 3 party government (previous max was 2).

      It helps with preventing one party gaining absolute power and also gives citizens more realistic options at the polling booth
