Matt Gaetz declared his intent to follow through on his threatened rebellion against Kevin McCarthy, saying he will file a motion to vacate the House speaker.
Completely agreed. I’m not holding my breath, but the absolute best thing that we could do would be to get rid of first-past-the-post voting and bring in some form of ranked choice, which would end the dual-party setup we have right now. There’s nothing like having multiple parties and multiple aisles to cross to force people into working with each other. What we have now is a two-party hostage situation, and I’d love to see that end. But to do that we have to get ranked choice voting in.
There is no way the average American will ever be able to comprehend anything more complicated than “my tribe” vs “not my tribe”
Also ranked choice voting got NYC Mayor Eric Adams. The election took way longer than it should have and they ended up with the "centrist"candidate that should have never gotten elected and disappointed both sides

Yeah but democracy works when all sides are constantly miffed.
