      This would not really change the two party system. All it would mean is that you genuinely need a majority of votes and not the majority of a weird convoluted combo of states.

        It would destroy the party system. Suddenly there’s a progressive democrat party and the freedumb caucus becomes it’s own thing.

        I’m game for that.

          First-past-the-post voting systems result in two conflicting parties. This would entrench the two party system. The current system is not good, but popular vote is only slightly better.

      The difference is in what the voters want.

      Both parties wouldn’t be for it, but liberal voters would be for it. Conservative voters would be against it.
