I've created a petition to stop FPTP in the US. We need to restrict the power of the binary system in our country. We need to allow third parties to be able to gain power. All those tired of this election must not let it happen again. There is no prevention of this election, but if we outlaw FPTP then the chances of an election like this is much less.
Any of those interested in signing petition: https://wh.gov/iMGiL

Are you the one person who has signed this petition?

Hey, it worked back in 1776, so why not?

Interesting. Out of curiosity, when was the last time a petition worked?

As a Texan that is the proper size of Alaska.

I've yet to see a petition cause change on a macro scale, I mean, Texas still hasn't seceded.

That will require some significant change in the constitution. Which means it will never happen in this current political climate.

Right? Some one needs to read the 12th amendment

This is a complete rewriting of our current election system. If you want to change things, get involved in politics yourself. Not a petition

So you say he should start a 3rd party, which has no chance of success whatsoever.
Utgart
For the federal senate, president, and most governorships, no chance. For local elections that slowly build a real new party, yes. 1/

In general, these third parties are trying to play on a national stage based on policy, but they have no real history of accomplishment.

Actually if fewer people had attitudes like that about petitions and organizing they would be far more effective.

You don't have to hold office to make a difference. You just have to make an effort and have help.
Utgart
Not when you're talking about this level of legislative and constitutional change. We need people who are willing to get involved.
Utgart
Everyone wants the easy way out. Carry a sign. Sign a petition. That has never been enough. Organizing is hard work. And we need people
Utgart
In politics, as well as supporting.
