you're being aspirational, and correct, but you're not announcing *how* to achieve that
it's like going "arrest #Trump!"
ok
and?
how?
to get #rankedChoiceVoting, which is creeping in in the #USA, and would allow for stable viable 3rd parties... how?
we have to elect #Democrats who support that (some do, some don't: vote in the #primaries people!)
the #GOP has taken a blanket stand against #RCV nationally, so this is the only way forward
the #USA is an #FPTP #voting system
meaning there can only be 2 parties
it's not corruption, it's just math (not saying corruption doesn't exist, but even if all corruption magically disappeared, we'd still have only 2 parties)
a 3rd party on the left would divide the left vote and #MAGA would win
i want 3rd parties
to get that we need #rankedChoiceVoting
to get ranked choice voting, we have to elect #Democrats who support it
Time to fill out the 8 pages of FPTP voting for various California and Los Angeles political offices, judgeships, education superintendents, etc as well as primaries for mayor and governor.
California desperately needs to discover the magic of optional preferential voting. I have well over 50 named candidates for the governor primary, of which I can pick exactly one.
Out of this hot mess there's a reasonable chance California voters could end up with a choice between two, and only two, MAGAty Republicans for governor in November.
Just absurd.

Also, lobby for Ranked Choice Voting / Instant Runoff Voting (RCV / IRV), and educate folks regarding how it works!
It has the potential to break the two-party stranglehold, thus forcing politicians of all stripes to listen more carefully to voters and work harder at serving the public, rather than simply trying to be the lesser of two evils.
