MODERATORS
And we keep electing them.
Hard to elect good people when you don't get good options.
Neither of the main parties have transparent and tamperproof primaries and one of the few things they consistently agree on is keeping third parties and independent candidates out of power whenever possible.
It does provide good cringe content watching the senate chamber questioning about anything modern tech.
Absolutely
They still legislate to make their advantage even greater.
For example, they set eligibility requirements that are trivial to multi billion dollar private corporations such as themselves, but difficult to insurmountable to anyone running for a third party or as independents.
Hell, some states including California, Colorado and Illinois may even make ballot access for third parties and independent candidates contingent on approval from establishment party members!
I completely agree with you on eliminating fptp voting, but I much prefer STAR voting to instant runoff.
