absolutely. like i said. the goal is a real voting system

The two party political system isn't the only problem.

Proportional voting in say, Germany, hasn't stopped the rise of the far right in other countries that have it.

A more common underlying problem is that more and more people get their news and information solely from social media, which actively promotes the most sensational and polarizing stories and disinformation because it generates more clicks for advertising dollars.
