While I am not thrilled with the Dems, if you get progressive enough dems, they will institute ranked choice voting, which is the path out of a 2 party system. GOP has never done this.
This. The only way out is an evolution of one of the two existing parties due to the probabilistic nature of FPTP. Step one is short-circuiting media, and establishing a working class unity against the rich. Need blue collar voters united to start pushing for constitutional changes state by state.
White Boomers grew up in and received the full benefit of the American Golden Age. Conservatives offer “the good old days” and most Boomers can’t understand those good old days came from The New Deal and other 1930s legislation which conservatives put to the torch.
The DNC will never do anything that might break their Duopoly on power but Town and County elections often have Democrats who would. Not enough but it’s a start. Actual grass roots elections at this level can move the dial.

Oppose FPTP = get my vote
<Trump, about to suggest replacing FPTP with generational monarchy>: “Hold my hamberder…”
Sure, they’ll do this just as soon as they enact universal healthcare, or federal maternity leave, or get money out of politics. Any day now …
