    Perhaps they would feel more inclined to vote if we had more then two viable political parties to choose from.

    With a more representative electoral system, people would be free to vote outside the two party system with no spoiler effect. Their vote would count, even if their preference didn’t win.

    Who could possibly be against democracy? Republicans? Of course.

    How about the democratic party? What is their opinion of democracy? Will they work to ensure their constituents are represented fully? Every day that ticks by without electoral reform in blue states is another day the democrats elevate their party above the needs of the country.

      There was a choice. You failed to choose the better option, and thus must accept the worst.

      Simple-as.
