              How’d you come to that conclusion? Also there’s more than one thing on every ballot. Where I live both local and state people are ranked choice votes so the oligarchy has a much harder time buying elections. Thanks California!

                Well, you either voted for someone who wasn’t even running in the most recent presidential election or the last time you voted was in 2016 when Bernie was on the ballot.

                So which was it? Did you not vote, or did you vote for someone who wasn’t even running (edit: and who endorsed Kamala)?

          First Past The Post voting artificially limits the number of viable political parties to two. With state level electoral reform, people would be free to vote outside the two party system secure in the knowledge their vote would still be counted against those they don’t want in office.

          That said, I’m glad ukraine is getting more. Just wish this had happened 2 years ago. To answer your previous question:

          1. Free social housing for all.

          The for profit home building/loan industry has failed to do their job and all subsidies and benefits they enjoy must be stripped away. We should build the mega cities from judge dredd and run high speed rail from them to the nearest downtown metro.

          This is a housing crisis, start acting like it. Declare a national emergency, use the army core of engineers and eminent domain to build.

          Stop involving the people who helped create the housing crisis. Stop being held back by red tape.

          High rent and low wages, Mao what’s the worst that could happen?
