        I think that one of the greatest things about the Constitution, the idea that it’s dynamic, has been lost to the result of FPTP–this two-party lock that won’t allow for any amendments. We now treat the document like a religious text instead of a tool we can and should update to be relevant and responsive when absolutely necessary.

        But go off about how much I hate this country or whatever. I’m clearly very apathetic about its vision.

      I always worry that putting so much on FPTP as the problem is going to backfire. I open to trying to move away from it, but it does make it a little cheaper for dark money to invest in a candidate’s image when they only have to maintain a strong showing vs overwhelming the 50% total tally.

      It didn’t keep the UK from Brexit and the EU is moving to the right. FPTP may not the game changer we imagine, it may simply be a ‘grass is always greener’ scenario.
