People like to complain about doomers while simultaneously doing nothing about the doom in the world.

So to lower the amount of doom, you would need to make changes right? And how do we make said change?

IMO, the place to start is state level electoral reform. First Past The Post voting artificially limits our choices in the voting booth, restricting the competition in the electoral process. The kind of radical change we need will not come while we have our hands in these two handcuffs. What incentive do these two political parties have to make said change when they know the other option in the voting booth is even further away from what you really want? There is none.

We should push our political parties harder, and that means threatening their jobs with new political parties with fresh ideas. Put the fear back into our politicians lives through a more representative voting system. There should be no "safe seats", kamala Harris should debate someone other then trump.

Debating trump, the world's easiest job.
