We do need some electoral reform. We need to get away from first-past-the-post winner-take-all systems, which would make third parties more viable. FPTP systems tend to trend towards just two dominant parties, and those that don't and remain multiparty usually end up highly unrepresentative or otherwise far more dysfunctional than simple two-party systems. The way things are now, voting third-party is essentially throwing away your vote. Clinton is not an ideal candidate by any means, but she's still vastly better than Drumpf and she's the only real choice in our current system for anyone who thinks Drumpf is dangerous and just plain awful. |
We're not going to see reform because the people who would be needed to make that reform are the same people who benefit from the current system.
