There are two sides, but you can alter that a bit if you get your asses to the primaries.

Lol, my primary choices 2024:

Biden

Democrats completely gave up on local elections in a purple county because it's in a red state.

We all agree with this premise and mostly that the FPTP system is a large contributing factor to the TPS saying how it has based on seeing how places that don't have a TPS appear to do so because the have different voting systems like different iterations of ranked choice voting.

What I am wondering is what 'we' think the best way to implement voting would be?

Criticism of the comic aside, two party system is still definitely undesirable. I believe it is a side effect of first past the post voting. What we really should implement is ranked choice voting. It gets rid of the dumb "voting third party is voting for [opposite party]" argument by letting you vote for who you want guilt-free and falling back on your lower-ranked votes if #1 wasn't popular enough.

But you know, this will always meet resistance because politicians would lose their jobs for implementing this.
