In the US

Change my mind

We do have direct ballot initiatives just not on a national scale

Yeah that’s what I’m saying

Sounds good. Doesn’t work. Take M4A for example. The ACA bill was 1000 pages long. You can’t have the public vote directly on something like that when most of them don’t even understand what M4A is already

we could, you know, actually make an effort to educate the people. it really is not hard to explain what M4A is

It wouldn't make a difference imo

The republicans would peer pressure Libertarians into making the Libertarian party their rank 2 instead of voting with their heart

and the Democrats would pressure lefties to make the Green Party or PSL their rank 2 instead of voting with their heart.

The argument will just turn into "If you make (insert 3rd party candidate here) your rank one you're really supporting (insert major party candidate)"

And the same people would just get peer pressured into voting Dem/Rep now you would just see 3rd parties get bonus points for trying
