      The “winner-take-all” nature means only the largest parties consistently win seats, marginalizing smaller groups. This structural advantage makes it difficult for new or minor parties to gain significant representation.

      Independents are not a smaller group. They are 56% They are the bigger group and vote D or R because they have no other option. Independents can replace the D party.

      The US isn’t a lost cause. Proportional representational is only made harder by people like you, who scream till they’re blue in the face that change is impossible while being surrounded by constant change.

        I’m going to stop wasting my time on an idiot.

        You: “It’s easy, we simply get two hundred million of the most brainwashed, propagandized people on the planet to disregard the constant, pervasive pressure from society about voting for the lesser evil.”

          I will attack you directly because I have no arguments. I want to revel in my defeatism.

          Understood. Goodbye then.
