I don't get it, who's saying people who support election reform shouldn't vote?

We sure get a lot of “both sides bad” around here.

Hard not to be suspicious of their motives.

How to drive voter turnout and create more sides so we’re not just left with two absolutely garbage choices every time:

Get rid of fucking first past the post. Ranked choice is by far more democratic, and some states have already implemented it to great success. Let’s go already, this needs to be the national standard.

Voting is the minimum. The reason there's no decent alternative is because people vote and think they did their part.

If you're voting for the lesser of two evils and that lesser is actively supporting genocide, but you're complaining about people that are saying 'both sides bad'...

'If you're curious what you would do to stand up against genocide, you're doing it now' - a braver man than me
