  • FPTP does destroy a lot, I’ll give you that, but municipal and regional elections have miserable turn-outs too and they have much more potential for perceptible change than state or national change.

    In the USA things have to get way worse than they are now before they get better. A very very large percentage of voters would have to be fed up with FPTP to force change in that area. Also, they would have to be educated enough to understand that FPTP is a problem.

    HackerNews is full of these kind of people

    Contributor: Hey guys, I wrote this proof of concept in a fortnight that does something fun!

    HackerNews: Why the fuck would you do that, you nincompoop?

    Contributor: I… thought it would be fun after shitty days at work

    HackerNews: You could be spending your time making money or contributing to $subjectivelyMoreImportantProject. Be ashamed

    People who can’t accept that some people just want to have fun and do what they like.
