    At this point the main priority for the democrats has to be reforming the American voting system.

    First past the post needs to go away, permanently.

    It is ridiculous to have situations where a state population votes 51% for one candidate and 49% for the other, while the state as a whole gets to throw out the 49% of the other candidate.

    Once that happens, other parties will spring up and actually have a possible way to get elected.

      I’ve always agreed, though some have needlessly stood in opposition. The fact is someone else has to take the wheel, and win, for it to happen and democrats at large aren’t creative enough to get it done.
